Holy shit, thank you so much. I’m going to start using this today. Thank you!

I’ve used an idea similar to this. It also lets me get all the clutter I stress about internally onto a paper so I can “free up” that space to not ruminate. Make a checklist of EVERYTHING you need to do, even “Call to make an appointment” because the simple task of checking it off will make you feel like you’re accomplishing things. Good luck!

You guys are so helpful and kind. I actually just went and got a little notebook that can fit in my pocket so I can do this quite literally everywhere I go.

Look into the Bullet Journal method on YouTube. Simple and effective task and time management. Good luck to you!!

Try adding to your notebook in 24 days : talk to mom and dad about my progress.

A follow up check in at the half way showing them you're moving forward might mitigate some of the consequences- release some of the pressure on you.

Even if not, it will be good to show them. :)

Good luck OP. You got this.

It also gives you little dopamine hits to cross stuff off the list, even if it’s small stuff. Just the check mark or cross out has an effect and can be motivating to do the next small thing and then the next.
