I like to make to-do lists so I feel a semi sense of accomplishment and fulfillment while I cross tasks off. Makes my life seem sort of in order and prioritized. I make a new list every few days and tack it right to my computer monitor, because, if you know me, I am always here. At my computer. Wherever I go, there I am!
But sometimes, when my list seems extremely difficult, I add mundane thinsg to my list. Like "brush teeth", "make brita water", and "water plants" so that way I still feel fulfilled and worthy of my time by corssing of things on my list, even though I would do them if they were't on my list.
I get by on little victories.
