David Allen, <i>Getting Things Done</i>:<p><<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done</a>><p><<a href="https://gettingthingsdone.com/" rel="nofollow">https://gettingthingsdone.com/</a>><p>Start with the book.<p>The concept is something of a perennial favourite with HN: <<a href="https://hn.algolia.com/?q=%22getting+things+done%22" rel="nofollow">https://hn.algolia.com/?q=%22getting+things+done%22</a>><p>A mentor, coach, therapist, or partner can help as well.<p>You might want to check for underlying issues such as ADHD, though ultimately you've still simply got to establish goals, make a plan, and execute on it.
Avoidant behavior is often rooted in anxiety and can affect even the smartest and most diligent people. A trained professional is likely to fastest way to address it e.g. therapist or clinician. Think of it as an investment that could change your life.
Is your room clean?<p>Start there. Your life will follow from there.<p>It may seem trivial or "easy", but it's not. It's difficult because there's layers and layers of emotional and historical and monetary values all interacting.
One method that may help is to write down a full list of actions that you do (or would like to do) regularly. Try to reduce that list to the minimum set where you think you would be satisfied if you did all those things. First categorize that list into at most 5 groups based on the things that are important to you and that you want to find balance between. Then within each group order them by how often they repeat (daily, weekly, etc.).<p>With that you have a clearly defined baseline of things that will make you feel like you are making progress everyday. Making the decisions and finding the motivation to take action might be hard but at least you can start with the things that you are absolutely sure of and are small enough that you can do easily.
I would look into GTD - Getting things Done - which espouses creating a 'system' for time management.<p>To that end I recently started using Tick-Tick as my TODO app, and reconfigured it to match how I impliment my GTD system.<p>It's been great; I have it split at the top between work / home and I'm making great progress on both fronts, and rarely losing track of stuff now.<p>This is a good video that covers both Tick-Tick and GTD; I used this as a rough guide to setup my Tick-Tick: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTjYWvumZ5M" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTjYWvumZ5M</a>
A lot of people find War of Are useful in overcoming procrastination and "the resistance".<p><a href="https://stevenpressfield.com/books/the-war-of-art/" rel="nofollow">https://stevenpressfield.com/books/the-war-of-art/</a><p>It's mainly aimed at creative people but can be applied more widely.
