Yeah mom… and grandma…

Make a to-do list, and when you do things cross them out
But keep the list.

Otherwise you'll stay too fixed on just what you need to do next. And you'll instantly forget that it was you that managed to change the breaks fix the boiler relay replace the water heater change the alternator fabricate the window fixture for the A\C Tile the bathroom level the floor Relevel the floor, etc.

And when it's time to do the laundry and it's been sitting there in the dryer for a week you can be like, "...If I can fix a relay I can fold a dozen or three band shirts."

oh best believe i've never left a task unattended--i'm just uh, i've overworked myself to the point where i actually wanna kinda start taking care of myself instead of rolling my eyes and going "yeah a monkey could do that go fuck yourself, me"

but for real i did have a notebook to keep track of that every day for a while when i was in therapy--part of the exercises, hahahah

Your little victories every day are what make you bombastic, chief. <3

If you celebrate the little wins, you're not starving to death waiting for big ones that may never come.

Super important to remember. It's those little victories that keep us going through the day to day.

Sometimes it's the small things that equal big things. A single grain of rice can tip the scales, y'know?

I need to practice this a lot tbh, because I hardly ever feel like I do enough in life, and just see it as something I should always do without expecting gratitude.
