One step at a time

There’s a lot of self-help about: so many blogs, books and inspirational quotes.

They don’t seem much use though when you become so overwhelmed that putting one foot in front of another, replying to a simple email or just opening a letter is just too difficult.

What’s the problem?

How can something so small become so momentous?

This has happened to me recently due to bereavement and it’s something I had to work am working through.

I have a synced diary on my laptop, tablet and phone as well as a number of very good productivity apps and a big whiteboard on the wall, but it’s me that has to get things done.

I’ve started writing tasks down in a book.

Sometimes I write just one task and then tick it when I’ve done it.

Now I’m moving forward: one step at a time.
