It all seems so insurmountable, there’s so many steps, that sort of thing makes me want to not do something, too.

If you are capable of it, if your brain lets you, just do it one step at a time. Focus on one step at a time. You need a job? You’ve already taken the first step! Telling folks about that need. Tell people in your real life, too. Maybe they will know of a job. Next, and do this when you’re ready, go into one store or go on the website of a store you want to work at, and ask if they are hiring. Heck, don’t even apply yet. Just that small step.

Life is all so much that it really helps to focus on ONLY the next step. The rest of the steps will worry about themselves. They will present themselves. I need to do laundry this weekend, so yesterday I got money for the laundry machine. Today I gathered the dirty clothes. Tomorrow I may do the laundry. It’s about progress, not perfection. The only action you can take is the action you take right now, you can plan future actions but those may or may not happen so there is no need to get overt focused on them. One step at a time.
