Outsourcing my executive function again

[randomling]

Three tiny things. Then three more tiny things. And on we go with our day.

Okay.

1. Pills.
2. Injection.
3. Gather clean clothes.

This is a Doable Thing.

Next three:

4. Put new toiletries away in toiletries cupboard.
5. Clean teeth, mouthwash.
6. Shower.

Bonus task: got dressed. Okay!

7. Draw curtains & pull up blind.
8. Pay credit card bill.
9. Update that one thread.

Next:

10. Summary of yesterday.
11. Whatever maths I can do for the past couple of weeks of working time/earnings.
12. Put music on, straighten bed, put bags, boxes, etc, on bed.

Okay I think we have reached the stage of one work thing, one tidying thing, one... other thing idk? Not sure what my other things are going to be. Maybe digital housekeeping? Yes that works. Also music can now stay on for a while.

SO.

13. 20 mins of spreadsheet (set timer).
14. Unload that one load of washing.
15. Filter 10 emails out of inbox.

Urgh, I'm now in work limbo and full of stress waiting for a client to answer a question. Plus there is a scary email I should send to another client. URGH, I say again.

So not sure what to do now. Might put on an episode of Fringe and work on tidying tasks and distract myself from the Anxious.

Okay, calmed down some, so that's okay. Next jobs:

16. Fill water.
17. 20 mins of spreadsheet.
18. Unpack three more bags of bed linen.

I am cheering you on! & wow I think I kind of know this feeling? I... should probably make more lists. >_< I know they help & yet...

[randomling]

Ha, yes! I do not make lists often even when I should - sometimes when they get too big I find them really overwhelming? I find three things at a time is bite-sized enough that I can usually manage even on relatively crap days (though frankly on really bad days all bets are off).

However. Slow and steady wins the race, right? :D

Damn, you got a lot done!

Thanks!
