How I Get Through Work on My Low Days

Some mornings, I wake up and just want to pull the covers over my head instead of facing work. When depression hits, even the smallest tasks can feel like climbing a mountain. Here’s what actually helps me get through: ✅ I write out a super simple to-do list. Just seeing things on paper (not swirling in my head) makes the day feel less overwhelming. ✅ I break everything into tiny steps. Instead of "finish the project," I tell myself, "just write the first sentence." ✅ I set a timer for five minutes and focus only on work—no emails, no scrolling. After, I let myself take a quick break. ✅ I reward myself for small wins, like a coffee run or a few minutes of music. It keeps me moving forward, even on rough days.
