Productivity and MS

[Gods_Girl]

Ya know how we want to do things, and our bodies/minds just often won't cooperate, right? Well I just wanted to share how I'm laughing at myself right now. I joined Reddit and was reading through a sub called r/productivity earlier today. Really great articles and suggestions like making lists, cleaning small areas for 10 mins. then taking a break for 10 mins., setting small goals etc. Then another sub suggestion popped up and I was like "ooh puppies and kittens!" 🤗 All the productive thoughts flew out the brain. 😂Some days, it just ain't gonna happen. But I'm learning to laugh instead of cry about it. I know we're always waiting for those "good days" when we can get a bunch done, or even a little. But today, I shall share the cutest picture I found on there. Hopefully, making you guys smile will count as a productive deed for today. 😉😊😄 Blessings to all!

I love Reddit. My favorite sub is today I learned.

[Gods_Girl in reply to Iona60]

Oh I'll have to check that one out. 😊 Are you in the MS sub there too? Any other good ones that are helpful to us MS'ers?

[Iona60 in reply to Gods_Girl]

Didn't know there was an MS sub. I'll look for it.

[Gods_Girl in reply to Iona60]

Iona60 I like this one better though, of course. 😉

[Iona60 in reply to Gods_Girl]

Found it. Yes we are like a family here.

Cute puppy photo!

One of the most frustrating things I deal with from MS is lack of focus. It doesn't take much to distract me even when I'm trying to concentrate. If I'm by myself when it happens, I just laugh it off. Unfortunately some of the people I'm around get irritated with it. I was diagnosed 19 years ago so long-time friends and family should be used it by now.

[Gods_Girl in reply to Raingrrl]

Aww, sorry Raingrrl ...you shouldn't have to remind them after all these years. 😕

[Raingrrl in reply to Gods_Girl]

Thanks Gods_Girl . It is what it is. I'm used to it and know who I can count on to understand and who will be annoying about it.

Love that adorable puppy. Yes, laughing at self rather than berating is much better act of self-kindness 😂

I want that list of how to be productive tho...sounds like some good ideas 💡

[Gods_Girl in reply to erash]

erash Hi! I tried to go back and find the exact article but couldn't. But here's a link to the Reddit productivity sub I was looking at. Tons of good stuff here:

I will get a burst of energy every once in awhile and then I over do it. You would think I should know better by now. RRMS 19 years.

[Gods_Girl in reply to REDLIPS44]

REDLIPS44 Yep, I think we're all guilty of that...But of I have a good day and am able to get a lot done, I'm willing to take the extra pain in the following days. I just accept it as the norm I guess. 😪

I use the Rule of One. I attempt to accomplish one part of one thing. It gives me a sense of fulfillment and then I can move on to the next part.

[Gods_Girl in reply to Iona60]

Iona60 Very true. It's definitely a sense of fulfillment to just START a project, cuz then we feel motivated to get into it and try to finish. Yeah...starting is the hardest part though! 😂

[Iona60 in reply to Gods_Girl]

Yes. Starting takes motivation. When I was on provigil, I always felt motivated. I had to step as it kept me awake at night.

[scooterjon58]

GG, I make lists and then misplace them! lol I'm still laughing although not at what MS has done to my body. Read more at scooterjon58.com

Hi GG, my wife said that was a cute dog in the pic. Do you ever have this problem? There are times when I'm fatigued and hot like today. My brain tells my body to get on my bed. My body parts just aren't listening so I don't get on my bed! I just sit and stare in a fixed gaze like I'm some kind of Zombie!
