Any one here get a boost planning, researching, journaling, making checklists and most of all checking off those lists but ironically cannot execute some if not most for what ever perfectionist reason or task paralysis to the goal. My mind loves to think I'm being very productive by doing planning, whatever writing or research I do to maximize everything before doing something but I'm actually avoiding the main goal because it isn't up to my standard condition. It sometimes becomes so debilitating that I dread doing things. It so frustrating. I just want to enjoy life and learn to relax but even relaxing becomes a checklist and only feel relief when checklist for relaxing is complete. Never ending cycle

The Governor of Okinawa Prefecture will issue a message regarding preparations and precautions for Typhoon No. 13.

----------------

Typhoon No. 13 is expected to approach the Okinawa region between August 6th and 8th.

In the Daito Islands region, last year in late July, Typhoons No. 7 and No. 8 caused intermittent heavy and torrential rain over a long period, resulting in flooding and other damage. Therefore, it is necessary to be vigilant not only against strong winds but also against heavy rain.

To all residents of Okinawa and visitors to Okinawa, please check the latest weather information regularly and take the following precautions to prepare for the typhoon.

[Regarding preparations and precautions in advance]

1. Please carry out outdoor work early, before the typhoon approaches. Before the winds get strong and heavy rains begin, please take precautions such as cleaning gutters and drains, moving or securing objects that may be blown away by the wind inside buildings, reinforcing windows with shutters or boards, applying shatterproof film or masking tape to windowpanes, and piling sandbags in areas prone to flooding. Do not under any circumstances work outdoors while the wind and rain are strong, as it is dangerous.

2. Please make "advance preparations" for power outages and water shortages. In preparation for potential power outages and water shortages, please make efforts to prepare in advance by securing drinking water and food, preparing flashlights and radios and checking their batteries, charging mobile phones and portable batteries, filling bathtubs and plastic containers with water, and preparing portable toilets, etc.

3. Please check evacuation locations and routes in advance. Please check the "hazard map" created by your municipality in advance to confirm evacuation locations, evacuation routes, and areas at high risk of flooding and landslides.

4. Please exercise caution when engaging in activities at sea or near the coast. If you are planning activities at sea or near the coast, or marine leisure activities, please be aware that even before the typhoon approaches, the effects of the typhoon may cause dangers such as swells and high waves, which could lead to life-threatening situations. Therefore, please check the latest weather information and act cautiously, prioritizing your own safety.

5. A request to all visitors staying in Okinawa for tourism or other purposes: If you are staying in Okinawa for tourism or other purposes, please consult with your travel agency or hotel staff regarding changes to your flights or extensions of your hotel stay.

Even after the typhoon has passed, there is a possibility of power outages, water shortages, and disruptions to logistics. Therefore, please prepare in advance by stocking up on food, drinking water, and water for daily use, as well as taking precautions against power outages.

In Okinawa Prefecture, we will work in cooperation with municipalities and related organizations to do everything in our power to ensure the safety of our residents and visitors to Okinawa.

This is a request from Okinawa Prefecture regarding preparations for Typhoon No. 9.

Typhoon No. 9 is expected to approach the Okinawa region with great force around July 10th to 11th, potentially causing extensive damage.

The typhoon is expected to approach the Miyako Island and Yaeyama Islands in particular, and it is said to possess a strength comparable to typhoons that have struck the Sakishima Islands in the past, causing extensive damage, so strict vigilance is necessary.

To all residents of Okinawa and visitors to Okinawa, please take the following precautions and prepare for the typhoon in advance to protect your lives.

1. It is important to be vigilant against strong winds and heavy rain. Before the winds intensify and heavy rain begins, please take precautions such as cleaning gutters and drains, moving or securing any objects that may be blown away by the wind inside buildings, reinforcing windows with shutters or boards, and applying cloth tape to windowpanes.

2. In preparation for water outages and power outages, please take precautions such as securing drinking water and food, preparing flashlights and radios and checking their batteries, charging mobile phones and portable batteries, and storing water in bathtubs and plastic containers.

3. Please check the "hazard map" created by your local municipality in advance and confirm the location of your evacuation site.

4. If you have plans for activities at sea or marine leisure, please be aware that the approaching typhoon may bring dangers such as high waves and swells, which could lead to life-threatening situations. Please check the latest weather information and act cautiously, prioritizing your own safety.

5. If you are staying for sightseeing or other purposes, please consult with your travel agency or hotel staff regarding changes to your flights or extensions to your hotel stay.

Even after the typhoon has passed, there is a possibility of power outages, water shortages, and disruptions to logistics. Therefore, please prepare in advance by stocking up on food, drinking water, and water for daily use, as well as taking precautions against power outages.

I'm not sure if anyone can relate but I've always had an issue with my hygiene specifically taking showers and brushing my teeth. I always have to have the perfect reason and time in order to get the motivation to do it. My mind focuses so much on making the most use outta my time with shower + brushing my teeth (because to me it's time consuming) but I can't seem to accept that these basic hygenes everyday will benefit me in the long run. It's so difficult convincing myself to just do things. Am I alone with this issue?
