I am trying to figure out what my new normal is. I think what I need is deadlines. These may need to be self created and self imposed.
Tomorrow I will make a to do list. Today’s accomplishments were somewhat limited; a short walk – including repopulating a book to a little free library, and making dinner. I did complete some crossword puzzles, but they don’t really count.

To do lists have helped me a lot! I write down even simple things like getting a few items from the hardware store or doing a household chore or two. Even if I would have done them anyway, accomplishing something off a list feels productive.

I’m starting this morning by finding lists in progress before our trip and combining them into one.
I think it’s the writing it out that spurs getting it done. Crossing it off is icing on the cake.
