Salon post: February 9th

[jenett]

Welcome to this week's salon post!

I've been home sick for two days (today I am actually at work, but also dubious I'm going to make it to the end of the day, but I had a couple of things that would be complicated to put off and I no longer feel completely lousy.)

Topic of the week
So, what do you do for self-care that makes a big difference for you? And has that changed over time, or with different situations?

This is a public post, feel free to encourage other people to drop by, just note the 'if posting anonymously, include a name people can call you in responses' rule.

* Consider this a conversation in my living room, only with a lot more seating. I reserve the right to redirect, screen, and otherwise moderate stuff, but would vastly prefer not to have to.

* If you don't have a DW account or want to post anonymously, please include a name we can call you in this particular post. (You can say AnonymousOne or your favourite colour or whatever. Just something to help keep conversations clear.)

Five-things todo tada lists—limiting todos to five is important. Petting my kitty.

I 'm a huge believer in list making. Sometimes just writing out the list clears my mind to be able to get things done. I have lately been making a list for things to get done Today, and on the back, other things that I want to do but have no time frame. That has helped me prioritize and not get so distracted.

I'm not good at prioritizing, which bugs me but I have no idea how to fix that. And limiting the lists to five undone todos—or fewer, if I tada something—does seem to help block off the TOO MANY TO DO WHICH ONE TO DO bullshit my brain pulls...

Limiting the list to five things sounds like a REALLY good idea - I'm going to try that.
