A bad case of ADHD: Overwhelmed and resistant

Okay so here’s how it’s going for me today: I’ve got a bad case of resistance, inertia, procrastination, indecisiveness, overwhelm.

I have three blog posts half written on topics I’m very interested in but I cannot settle on writing one.

I have ideas about all kinds of things I need to do — and I don’t want to do any of them. I get urges to get going on one thing, but then get totally turned off to it. I’m overwhelmed to the point of being completely stuck. I can’t do that segmenting thing where I set a timer for an hour or even eight minutes and focus on one task and get some of it done.

I’m flailing around in an ADHD stupor.

Don’t even want to go out to my local café.

Here are some of the things I want to do today, but that I cannot move on: go see my friend’s artshow; clean the windows; get a kitten; start the process of moving two websites to a single host; change my Twitter account on one of my websites; create a simple card for my computer business; take a bike ride; work on my editing bio for Upwork; set-up a free five-day promo for my Kindle book; make my Paleo blueberry muffins; throw out everything I don’t need in my kitchen; wash the floor; find a place to volunteer; fill the bird feeder; go look for a vintage mohair sweater at a consignment shop; go to the cobbler to get another hole put in my belt; write an overdue response to a good friend’s email.

I have, in fact, managed to sicken myself by looking at stupid stuff on the web. Not even cute dog stuff. Some celebrity stuff. I’d die if someone saw my history. There’s great substantive stuff online, but I don’t want to give it my attention right now.

That’s it for now.

In keeping with my random thinking, here’s a photo of my new little guitar, which I love!
