Somehow, changing the sheets wasn't such an annoying task when I was trying to do it in LESS THAN 6 MINUTES! I still do it today with household chores and even work projects that I tend to agonize over.<br /><br />I suppose, on the bright side, although that is your current PB - it doesn't have to be your PB for the whole job. Just imagine how much FASTER you could get!! :)<br /><br />Good luck.Holly @ Run With Hollyhttp://www.runwithholly.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770104768123714471.post-29979382196711040282014-03-25T04:22:31.904-07:002014-03-25T04:22:31.904-07:00I love it that you reward yourself and that you ar...I love it that you reward yourself and that you are playing games with yourself. I'm sure you do get it all done, like you say yourself too. <br /><br />I always use to do lists, at work and at home. One reason is to stay in control in busy times but the other is that I don't remember things that aren't important like when it's time to clean the dishwasher with cleaning powder. It pops up on my home todo list on my phone when it's time and I do it. This way I can use my limited :) brain for fun things to remember.

Basically I was saying that list-making is really helpful when I feel stressed cos (like you said) when I see stuff in black and white it seems achievable and I feel more in control. HOWEVER... the 'To Do' list then becomes as stressful as the stuff on it as I don't get things done and I become apathetic and overwhelmed again. I know that just starting something will mean I get it done on time, but it can all feel a bit much at times! <br />PS. Thank god I copied that comment before I closed your page as it disappeared and didn't get posted!!!

My school would have a major recital every two years, and there must have been a hundred kids or more, and one year I was in four items... the costume job boggles the mind. So, thank you.
