when you make a very reasonable list of the things you want to get done today but one thing takes 5x longer than you thought it would and now you're too tired to do anything else so instead of feeling proud that you did a thing you beat yourself up for not finishing your list

I work hard to remind myself that the accomplishments are not as important as the fact that I kept trying. Like, I'm Sisyphus and I'll never finish pushing that rock up that hill, so I just try to push it as much as I can every day (cf. gifted kids being praised for results, but not for effort)

sometimes i have a list day where i put my to-do list on here and then i get external validation as i check things off (with fun emojis) but when i DON'T get to some things, it EXTRA sucks and also everyone knows about it 😅🫠

ok i did have to take the dice/earrings off the list bc my orders took WAY longer than they should have and then i overheated while making dinner so i'm calling today a MOSTLY OK SUCCESS and now i'm having ICE CREAM and watching tv until bed ✨

Ah, then you must break the longer task into absurdly granular to-do steps, retroactively add them to your list, and cross them off. If my brain isn't going to fight fair, I will not either.
