First, before I get into this evening's topic, today is Zibb and mine's 19th month together. This one snuck up on me. I really love that boy.

Anyway, I'm a bit disappointed in me today. I've done next to nothing when I've been on my own. And I'm not sure why I haven't. I mean, I have to get homework done. And I have to pack. But I'm looking at the scope of what has to be done and I panic. And this is bad. I really need to do something.

It shouldn't be this hard. Binary trees are not difficult to understand. But i have some sort of panic problems with my programming abilities. And I need to get this done, goddamn it. and then do the other four assignments. I'm going ot die.

and packing the room is the same problem. I look at it and I get overwhelmed, which feeds the depression better than anything else I can think of. That's part of the reason I'm struggling in grad skewl so badly, is because I get overwhelmed easily. We'll see if it gets better this year.

Anyway, any tips on how not to get overwhelmed would be welcome. Thanks.

Remember, every big problem is made up of related little problems.

So break down the big problem into small bits and tackle a small amount at a time. Try not to think of the whole, just of the small amount you are doing right then & there.
