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…

  • (And How to Actually Use One Without the Pressure) So, you’ve got yourself a shiny new productivity journal.You crack open the first page, grab a pen, and… suddenly feel like you’re meant to be reinventing your life before lunch. Sound familiar? The truth is: journals are a brilliant tool, but only when used like they…

  • Starting something new feels brilliant, doesn’t it?You’ve got fresh notebooks, big ideas, a fresh playlist, and huge “new chapter” energy. Everything feels exciting…until it doesn’t. One morning, you wake up, or perhaps one evening when you get home from your day job, the energy isn’t there. The magic, excitement, buzz has gone. Your shiny new…

  • We’ve all had those days when you wake up feeling like you’ve been hit by the No. 10 bus. The coffee kick isn’t delivering, the to-do list looks like a chapter from war and peace and your get up and go, has got up and gone. Don’t worry, feeling tired doesn’t have to mean you…

  • Learning isn’t just about going to school or night class or sitting exams and taking online courses; it’s a powerful, accessible form of self-care. It increases confidence, builds social connections, and can help give you some focus whilst taking your mind off things that may be making you anxious. We have done some of the…

  • 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…

  • Hands up if you’ve been here: You set out aiming for a perfect, hugely productive day. 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…

  • The job, the juggle, and the headspace it needs. There’s a moment, usually around the point when you’re in bed and trying to get to sleep when your brain won’t shut up. I’m guessing this hits every self-employed person at one time or another: “How is it this hard… and no one even notices?” Being…

  • Join the Get Stuff Done Challenge. One page a day, one win at a time. If your brain feels like a browser with 23 tabs open (and at least three playing music), it might be time for a reset. You don’t need dramatic life overhaul. Just a gentle, easy to action plan to help you…

  • (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.…
