Title: Feeling great about what I got done today
Post by: debidoo on November 01, 2018, 05:45:49 pm
I had a lot of errands today boring to recant but had to pick up my new glasses, get blood work done, have a short dr appt to get meds refilled, drop off meds at pharmacy, find mom's death certificate and take it to a lawyers office and go back ad pick up meds.  You might wonder why this is such a thrill for me but I am a put off everything usually and get wiped out fast due to health issues but I pushed myself to keep going and I did.  Do you find it hard to do stuff even when you know you should get it done?

Wow. You really had a productive day. I wish I could accomplish that much in one day, but lately things have been really hard motivation wise. Good for you though.

I always feel very accomplished when I get everything done.

Well, it depends on what it is!  Some things are just unmotivating and trivial now that I'm retired.  You know, I've found that since retiring my philosophy has become "If not today, then tomorrow!" When I go out and really have things to do I find it helps to make a list and check them off once completed.  It gives me a sense of accomplishment as I go down the list.

I often have trouble getting the motivation to do stuff, so I understand where you're coming from, that sense of accomplishment on a productive day.

Sometimes, if there is just too much then it is harder than just a few items. I freeze if I have too much to do and end up doing ZIP!

Every day is a busy day here. I applaud you for getting some much done in a short period of time. I try to get a lot of my errands done but if I can't , tomorrow is another day.  :)

No I don't find it too hard although I am also a Senior and get tired fairly easily. I have a big running list of things I should do and I try to accomplish a few things on the list every single day so not a lot of things get bunched up to do all in one day.

It's all relative.  We all have had days where we feel good about accomplishing a lot while others would laugh at what we got done.  For me, the key is to build on that day.

I usually have a list each day of things I NEED to get done and of things I WANT to get done. Sometimes written, but often just in my head or jotted a note in my phone.  I hardly ever get the list completed!


But these days, I feel a sense of accomplishment once I get my minimum 22¢ on Fusion Cash and complete on online checklist of other online sites that require daily checkins/claims to keep my daily loyalty bonuses running and also when I meet my three daily walking goals: (10,000 total steps; 3,000 steps in 30 minutes or less; 500 steps in 7 minutes or less six different times - with at least one hour in between each time).  I get paid a dollar by my health insurance company for each of those three daily goals up to $3 a day.  So far I've hit the minimum goal every day since I first started in late July and earned over $360 for it!


Those walking goals are usually my primary objective every day outside of work deadlines, so I do feel good when I hit them each day!
