GET STUFF DONE
A community resource to help people simply get stuff done, where we can share our successes and encourage others to have positive results. Please note though we're not trained wellbeing therapists. We're just like you, trying to make ourselves happier, healthier and calmer one day at a time, sharing what we have learned so far.

Stop your thoughts spiralling out of control over something that hasn’t even happened… and probably won’t. Catastrophising – It sounds dramatic because it is. It’s when your brain gets hold of a situation, it’s usually small and harmless, but your brain ends up running full speed into an imaginary disaster. It’s not always rational. But…

A season of joy… and juggling. We all know the Christmas story: joy, laughter, festive cheer, family, friendship, and enough fairy lights to be seen from space. But let’s be honest, for many of us, the reality feels a little bit different. Christmas can also bring stress, financial pressure, emotional overload and, for some, a…

Bonfire Night isn’t just about fireworks, sparklers and loud bangs. It’s a great reminder that sometimes you’ve got to let things burn.

Hands up if your brain sometimes feels like that drawer everyone has, you know the one. The “miscellaneous” drawer overflowing with old batteries, cables, chargers, random keys, a tin of old screws, and a stash of receipts from years ago. Yep, thought so. Well unfortunately our minds can get just as cluttered, sometimes even more…

We’re talking every task ticked, every email sent, a glorious clean desk, and maybe even having had time to make an appearance at the gym…Then, life happens. The kids needed a last-minute lift, the internet went down, or an…

(And Why Waiting for the New Year Is a Bit Overrated) Let’s be honest: we’ve all done it.Told ourselves “I’ll start fresh in January.” Or “New Year, New Start.” Or that old classic: “I’ll get back on track when life calms down a bit.” The truth? Life never really calms down, not for long, anyway.…
