I am a list maker. Always have been and always will be. But I often expect too much from myself and make to do lists you could use as wallpaper. So I decided to start each day with a list of what ABSOLUTELY MUST be done. Then throughout the day I make an "I did" list. Nothing is too trivial for this list. Taking a shower, making a phone call, making dinner, everything goes on this list. At the end of the day I read it. Has changed my perspective. Instead of being upset over all the things I didn't do I now realize how much I do. Even on my worst days I know I accomplished something. I hope some of you will make your own lists and give yourself credit.

Sounds a good idea, I might just try it.
Mrspjs, what a great idea...I bet you found that the "I did" list was much greater than
you anticipated. Giving you a feeling of great accomplishment. Good job xx

I too love making lists (they soothe me lol) and yes, expect too much myself too. Shall try your idea, sounds like a lovely one. Thank you.
