Trust me, part of me is grieving that I even have to do this :/
But that being said, I can either be a victim of my circumstances or do what I can to make the best of them (and over time, change them).
So that being said, I'm at least attempting something.
I literally put a huge post it on my downstairs bathroom door.
And I'm taking the small post its that I have and doing my best to color code them and write tasks on them
I can always refine this but at least I'm giving my brain a fighting chance.😅😅
So I made the green post its "environment" so it is house cleaning stuff
Light pink is stuff that makes me happy
Yellow is self care
Trust me, the perfectionism is trying to rear its ugly head😝 But I'm pushing through that.
It is a START. And that is SOMETHING.
I literally currently NEED to SEE that I'm making progress. At a glance. In my face. So this is what I currently have.
Love you guys!! And as a I do a task, I'm moving it to bottom of the huge post it
It's not IDEAL but it is SOMETHING. The end goal is to have a life that feels like it is BALANCED. So the idea is to have at least one of each color at the bottom every day. Creating a bit of a rainbow 🥰
And at the very least, at least the mental work I've done so far to even think of things will not have to be REDONE tomorrow. I won't have to rethink and rewrite "20 minutes on bathroom", for example.
That's actually exciting for me! Because this way, if I DO have an opportunity to do something fun, I won't feel like I "can't" because I'm not "caught up" on housework. Newsflash my brain doesn't want to admit: it will NEVER be "done". That is a completely false conclusion
but if I know I've at least put some time and attention on it, *I* will feel better.
ok so! My plan for rest of the day is every hour, get up and go to the door and pick one thing from the board to work on for 20 minutes. We shall see! But at least I'm trying 🥰
worth a shot 😅
