Had lists for 25 years, and they did help to a good degree, but still: Same.
But about 2 weeks ago, I think I really cracked the case! In those situations when it is “too much” to do an item from the list, I ALLOW myself to not do an item from the list, guilt-free, but I HAVE TO “simulate” the items briefly in my head.
More than 50 % of the time, that’ll lead to the realisation that I’m totally up for doing one of those. Still not everything done, but jumped from maybe 3 out of 10 to 6 out of 10 for a typical weekend. And if I don’t feel like it, I can enjoy my shows and other shenanigans guilt-free.
Now that I have a list I can consciously ignore it instead of thinking that I’m forgetting about it. Sounds funny, but it’s a weird peace of mind.
