@Michelle Hutchings I love reading this. It sounds like you've come a long way, and you should be proud of that. Enjoy your weekend! You've earned it! 😊

@Amy Walker You're very welcome! 💛

@Amy Walker That makes perfect sense. Like your brain is running at 200 mph, but in ten different directions at once instead of one 😅 What's that been looking like for you today?

@Amy Walker I love hearing that. 💛 Sometimes our brains take the scenic route, but we still end up exactly where we need to be. I just joined your community too, so I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone over there as well. 😊

Hi Sally, welcome, and happy 60th. A whole month of celebrating is the right call. What you described, the week disappearing with your list still untouched and then not even being able to decide what to do with your downtime, is basically the core experience here. Add fibro fog and post-menopause on top and it's genuinely exhausting. That's not a discipline problem, so please don't read it as one. What helps me most isn't a longer list, it's taking the deciding out of the bad days. When my brain works I pick a few defaults, like the same easy dinner on certain nights, or three things I'm allowed to do in my downtime so I'm not staring at endless choice. On a foggy day past-me already decided, so present-me just follows. The deciding is the part that eats me, not the doing. But that's just what works for me, and everyone's brain is different. So I'll put your question to the group too, because plenty of people here have figured out their own ways to get things done on a foggy day. What works for you all? (And the Damian Lewis fact is excellent.) Really glad you're here. 🍀
