Hi Hn, sorry for the anon post, but i just can't post my actual profile as it is tied to my real identity.
i get a lot of work done, and then there are periods of no-work or complete procrastination. i know that a lot of people go through this cycle, but i need to deliver on time, and this leaves me with a lot to do in a short time [this has really been happening more often now] and it ends up in a lot of wasted time and wasted effort.
as a result, i have missed a lot of deadlines, that were pretty important, and i don't know whether i am capable of doing stuff in a proper timely manner anymore. i used to be able to atleast meet deadlines, but now even that seems to be slipping away from my grasp.
in short how do you [i] deal with this frustration, and the setbacks [missed contracts, connections, wasted time, fruitless efforts, etc] that spring up from time to time.
how do i remedy this ? i really have tried the whole GTD + organization/productivity p0rn, and still sometimes at the end of the day, i am unable to do any meaningful work.
what is the best way to deal with self-doubt ? i know a lot of people here say, "fake it till you make it" and i guess i have tried the approach a couple of times, and sometimes, just sometimes i feel like a fake/fraud. at other times i keep asking myself "do i deserve more ?" and its just a crazy spiral ?
tl/dr
how do you deal with frustration, and setbacks that your [in]actions cause ?
how do you remedy [in]action?
what is the best way to deal with self-doubt ?
and questions such as do i deserve more ? when others less able and knowledgeable than you are breezing by effortlessly ?
i am a little bipolar
thanks.
Are you doing what you love?
I think dealing with the frustrations is different for each person. You have to try things out and find what works for you.
This may be something you want to talk to a psychologist about.
