I often let myself off the hook by being very messy - "I'm too agitated to deal with putting these papers away now" - but then the disorder just makes me feel more overwhelmed and anxious.

我经常把周围弄得一团糟却放纵不管——“我现在很烦，懒得整理这堆文件”——但这样的混乱往往会让我感觉更糟糕、更焦虑。

Here's how I personally handle this: When I feel overwhelmed by my "to-do list" I create a game by challenging myself to let go of everything I can do without.

以下是我亲自处理这个问题：当我觉得不知所措我的“待办事项”我挑战自己创造的一切让我可以去没有一个游戏。然后，我删除尽可能多的东西可以从我的名单上。
