You spend all day doing stuff for other people. Your bosses, your family, your community. It’s hard at the end of the day after doing so much to do stuff for yourself.
Well you’re worth it. Hope you find the time and energy to give yourself at least an hour of “me time” each day.
Why is my brain like this? Why do I always do things the hard way?
"Oh, there’s this thing you have to do that’ll take fifteen minutes. "
“I’ll do it tomorrow.”
“Oh, there’s this thing you’ve been putting off for a few days. The deadline for it is coming up.”
“I’ll do it right before it’s due.”
“Oh, there’s this thing that’s past due, but it might not be too late…”
“I can’t handle this. I’m going to pretend it doesn’t exist.”
“Oh, the thing that would have taken 15 minutes is now a major disaster that’ll take days to fix and cost a lot of money. Your life is falling apart as we speak.”
“Everything has now blown up due to my inability to perform low effort mundane tasks. Since things nave now blown up anyway, I might as well just leave it. How much worse can it get?”
reminds me I was so proud, a week ago today, I woke up at 3am and did three things I had been procrastinating:
taking a shower instead of delaying it,
finally did laundry, and
sewed up the hem on my work pants.
I did that all between 3-6am before going to work, because the reward was The next day was my day off work and I did not want to have these annoying chores hanging over my head on my day off work. So I got them all done before work on a work day and it felt so good.
