I have a terrible habit of procrastinating, putting everything off until a later date then realising everything is mounting up and then I can't handle them all. I also love the feel of accomplishment when I do get things done in a reasonable time. I had cleaners booked for the 29th but had a list of things that needed doing again putting them off until a couple of days before then being weighed down with lots of tasks that needed doing before they arrived.
I made a tick list on my phones memo to make sure I got everything done ready for the cleaners to arrive, I wanted all the paperwork bills etc stored away, everything put in its place, etc. I found the tick list very therapeutic. Ticking off each task made me feel as if I was accomplishing something just wish I had started the list earlier. I am going to do the same over the next few months with some of my larger jobs to see if they get done.
This month will be focused on the garden work I need done listing every job that needs doing giving me a month to get them all done. This gives me time to get them all done. I am hoping I get the jobs finished quicker than usual. I think having it down in black and white give we that extra bit of enthusiasm to get them done.
When each task mounts up they start to become mammoth tasks, I could handle them when I was fit but now with being disabled one job is an extra pressure, ticking them off helps my brain feel free not a mush full of jobs, Its one job at a time with a tick to say well done.
Completing all my tasks like this may help with my depression and keep my mind clear to focus on myself and things I like to do and get pleasure from such as reading and posting on Hive. I need more organisation in my life. I have recently started de-cluttering my house which has helped my depression quite a bit. My life could do with a bit of organisation and a tick list with a time frame will give me that. I think a month to finish each list is enough time without feeling pressure.
ANYWAYS
I am still feeling sick, the bug is still hanging around and causing me problems. Thankfully I haven't passed the germs onto my hubby. I am trying to keep to myself and not get to close, washing each dish or cup up as I use it. I am only eating one small meal a day its all I can face, I am also trying to drink lots hoping the water will flush out this rotten germ, Not working as yet. I am still very sleepy, worse than usual.
Its getting close to my bed time again, falling asleep around 10pm is new to me, sadly I am still shattered in the morning so not getting up any earlier. Tomorrow is my favourite day as hubby cleans his fish tanks out which take a bit of time and I stay n bed out of the way. Nice slow restful day.
Thank you for visiting. 💟💟
