ok, the 20/10 just might change my life

What do you define as “feeling helpless” and what do you do when you feel that way?

So I basically think of my life (for better or worse) as three different planets: work, life, and romance. Work is everything having to do with my career: Professional & personal projects. Life is platonic relationships, gym, how clean my apartment is, how healthy I’ve been eating, etc. Romance is… Well, self explanatory (although for some reason writing out the word “romance” feels creepy and weird so apologies for that). 

Anyway. Those are the three planets of my life that are constantly revolving around my head. Now, it’s EXTREMELY rare for all three of these things to all be going well - I couldn’t tell you the last time it happened. But when all three things are going awful… Well, that’s when I feel helpless. Emotionally, the helplessness feels like a giant beanbag chair pressing in from all sides. I feel tired, depressed, and also weirdly flat? It feels like I’ve let myself sink to the bottom of a pool filled with a thick pudding, and I’m looking up at the surface and can’t seem to get up the energy I’m going to need to swim back up and pull myself out. So what do I do?

Well, first of all, I’ve learned that the state of my apartment has a LOT to do with my mood. When my place is a mess, I start to sink into a bad place. Even if my problems are romantic, or if I’ve gotten a string of Nos on pitches, CLEANING my place will make me feel just a tad bit better - and when we’re at the bottom of the pudding pool, even a tad bit better is a huge improvement. And realistically, it’s just fucking easier to pick up physical objects and put them away than it is to sort out romantic feelings or try to pretend like I’m not going to die as a complete professional failure. So picking up physical objects is what I start with.

Marie Condo is great, and the whole “Spark Joy” thing has become a real cultural phenomenon, but here’s the problem: For a fucking disgusting hoarder like me, folding shirts a different way or holding something in my hand to see if it “sparks joy” is sooooo fucking far beyond where I’m at that I might as well be watching a show about becoming an Olympic Hurdler. Instead, there’s a great site I came across a while ago called “Unfuck Your Habitat”. It’s fantastic, and at its core is an idea I use every time I’m depressed: The 20/10.

Here’s the idea: You set a timer. You clean for 20 minutes. Then you STOP, and CHILL for 10 minutes. The catch? You’re only allowed to do three of them a day. That’s it! No more! This is great for me, because it A.) Lets me feel like I’ve accomplished something positive, and B.) puts a limit on it, so I can feel like I’ve succeeded and done all I can (having a measurable end goal is important for me). Perfectionism is bad. 

So when I’m feeling helpless and depressed, my go to move is to do a 20/10. It’s measurable, and when I’m done I can SEE what I’ve accomplished, which is important. And once I’ve started to swim to the top of the pudding pool, I can usually turn that little bit of momentum into something bigger and over the course of days or weeks continue to do consistent, small, positive things and pull myself out.

You can pull yourself out of this. Start small and be nice to yourself. Good luck!
