My Schedule / To Do List
Monday, I wrote a bit about my schedule/to do list.
It helps me to have some amount of organization in my life. And, I can feel that with having lists.
I rarely get everything done, and am working to feel better about that, but it’s very difficult! I want to feel good about what I accomplish vs. what I don’t, regardless of why!
I actually write a lot of things down and have numerous writings, all over the place.
Sometimes it helps, other times it doesn’t; and, it usually depends on me and my ability to focus.
Care to share what your schedules and to do lists look like? Or maybe more importantly, how you treat unfinished items on them (i.e. are you truly at peace with not having certain things done, or even everything done)?

The only meaning I can ascribe to my life is one that challenges me and makes me happy.

I like to self-reflect.

I have a BA in Psychology.
I enjoy reading.
I love to listen to music!
I write Prose poetry.
My favorite foods are Vietnamese and Thai.
"You will never be criticized by someone who is doing more than you. You will only be criticized by someone who is doing less than you."
I have some things that are part of my routine so they don’t need to go on my list. As soon as I get up, I stick my bullet journal on my bed and my little bag of meds in the middle of the bedroom floor so I don’t forget about them. Then I have my breakfast and tea. That’s all done on autopilot.

It’s taken a lot of revisions to refine this. Autopilot, for me, has become writing things down. I suppose to some degree I am reliant on my writings. In any event, I know that I need to be okay with whatI don’t get done. It just is very difficult.

I want to be a list maker and have routines but i don’t seem able to… i can’t get my mind on board. I think it’s awesome you do and encourage you to see it as a tentative plan not a have to plan

I like what you say. I suppose I’ve conditioned myself to this list, by writing all sorts of things down for several years now.

I used to put everything down onto a list; which didn’t make me happy. Now I have my meal planned out per week, a reminder every morning on my phone to brush my teeth 🙂 and a planner to keep track of my appointments. Every morning I make a plan in my head what I need/like to do that day according to how I feel.

The problem is, for me, I can’t get myself to consistently do all the things on my list. I KNOW it is because I don’t have the energy. So, the next thing probably is to try and create some energy.

I learned (or still am learning) to prioritize items on my list. I am allowing myself to do some ‘fun’ things or things that are really good for me. I forgot all about self-care when ill and preoccupied with chores (that were on my list).
I’m interested to read how you tackle ‘loss of energy’, that is if you are willing to share of course.

I have been walking two to four days a week to counteract some of the loss of energy. I am trying to get my diet under control. It seems that walking is easier to embrace than diet change, but both are essential! I will do my best to focus more on my health.
