I am SO SO BAD at compartmentalizing my feelings and thoughts so I can get work done. I have an hour before I have to start getting ready to go pick up my daughter from school, and I've done NOTHING related to my job today because I can't stop daydreaming and thinking of situations going on in my life. Now, I'm here on Reddit.

I cannot compartmentalize. My therapist has phrased it by saying: "It's very difficult for you to tell your thoughts to wait."

Right now, my mind is like:

"Okay, I have an hour to write this blog post. I need to tell my thoughts to wait. But they don't want to wait for the rest of the afternoon and evening. They can wait for an hour, but not for the rest of the afternoon and evening, until my daughter is in bed."

I have to stop thinking of these things so I can write this ONE BLOG POST for my company, then put myself together, go pick up my daughter, have our traditional Thursday evening treat (slushies), play with her, bathe her, and get her to bed.

But the thoughts will not wait. They want attention right now.

Help? Tips for compartmentalizing?
