I find this a really useful thread - so thanks @Teej !

It helps to actually put things down. So here goes

• Do a section of fence staining
• Mop the floor
• Make biscuits
• Have a cuppa with my daughter

How bout you @greenpea @Meowmy @Faith-and-Hope @Sunny2009 ?

@frog @Hope you get your goals done. I am planning to go swimming and bakery and in the evening,promised to take friend’s kids out for a pizza.

Last night I was hovering around this thread trying to come back to it @frog. I think you just inspired me to come back to it. 

Today im going to try something new for me. 

Ive broken my list into parts

• a housework job
• a personal job (like cleaning my room)
• plan and organise food and make sure it’s healthy
• a leisure/hobby thing for me
• a health thing (going for a walk) 
• something (it will be very small) towards my goal of volunteering then work
• an outside job

Not sure how I’ll go but will give it a spin 😄

Good luck for anyone else trying to motivate themselves today.

My big aim today is to stay sane with son2 hovering over me as he has been all morning .... wont get much done unfortunately but spending time with son2 and reassuring him that he is doing fine probably is the best goal that I could possibly have.

[Teej]

Sounds like a good plan @greenpea, staying sane is always a good goal 😄. I hope s2 gets what he needs so you can have some pea time too 💜🤗

@Teej  Thanks Teej

I like that approach @Teej how did you go?

I got a bit waylayed becauuse my debit card got hacked. I got texts from the bank and thought *they* were scamming me It took about an hour to sort out and my card is no more (it had been 'compromised' ha!) so I have to wait for another one and then sort out direct debits etc. I didn't get my mopping done, but it's not going anywhere  and there's always tomorrow.

Hoping you're still sane-ish @greenpea

@frog Hi 

it kind of went ok. I didn’t get to the work towards volunteering stuff and not as many house jobs as I would have liked, but I did stay motivated all day and got to tick lots of boxes. Dog was walked too which was a good thing. 

Sounds very annoying about your card. Think mopping can wait too. At least your card got done ✅
