Productivity & Accountability Thread

[Chris]

Anyone else struggle to motivate themselves to get things done sometimes? As an example, I meant to post this thread yesterday yet I am only getting around to it today. Instead I spent 10hrs playing Cult of the Lamb instead. Priorities, huh?

Even if no one else jumps on this, I'll still pop in daily.

I need to finish payroll for my employees by the end of the day. I woke up super late and haven't done anything @_@ work from home does that to me, hah

I also need to unpack from my vacation and then do the laundry from that vacation... And possibly go to the gym. Oh boy.

• write 100 words of fiction (133/100 written)
• submit 4 job apps (4/4 done)
• unpack suitcase + do laundry (2/2 done)

I also need to unpack from my vacation and then do the laundry from that vacation... And possibly go to the gym. Oh boy.

Laundry is the devil. I've been home since Monday and only got around to unpacking today.

Ooo, I can get in on this. It’s hard for me to feel productive because after entertaining and caring for a 3 year old all day, at the end of the day I just want to relax. But the stuff needs done.

I’ll start with what I did get done:
Reorganised our catch-all drawer
Straightened up our kitchen (mostly)
Paid a couple bills

What I need to do:
Swiffer
Wipe down surfaces
Vacuum the carpet in the 3 season room, because it’s grown a fur coat like that of a Golden Retriever
Call my OBGYN (I have 5 mins till they close, maybe I’ll do that now.)

Ooh I like this idea!

The things I need to do by the end of the week are:
- clean the bathroom (it's very gross rn lol)
- do my laundry including my bedsheets
- go grocery shopping

 

[xSuperMario64x]

ugh I have so many things I need to do. I especially need to do laundry, I'll probably start on that right after I finish typing this

it's been really difficult for me to take responsibility and get things done that need to be done bc I've been struggling really hard w my mental health. I'm hoping my doctor and I can get something figured out soon, even though I know I've been on this wild goose chase for basically a year and a half now. until then I'll just do what I can, and not beat myself up for not being able to do something due to my health.

now that I think about it I know what I need to do this week:
- do laundry
- record a video for my yt channel
- BE KIND TO MYSELFFFF ABOVE ALL ELSE

This is a nice idea for a thread, it often takes me days, if not weeks to build up motivation to work on projects.

Yesterday I finally got my laundry done, all hung up and folded, and I dusted the (vacant) cobwebs from the vaulted ceiling.

Today I sprayed down the ceiling in my soon-to-be home office with hot water and vinegar and started scraping off the popcorn ceiling. It's not going super well as it's been painted over and I've gouged the drywall in some places. About to go back in there and scrape some more again in a minute, wish me luck.

God bless this thread.

Things to accomplish by tonight:

• LEARN GOITER DIFFERENTIALS AND THEIR HISTOLOGY
• study the role of hypoalbuminemia post-thyroidectomy
• study the parts of the tympanic membrane and intranasal cavity (through rhinoscopy)
• re-study the anatomy of the neck (triangles, borders of the lymph node levels, recurrent laryngeal nerve, superior/inferior thyroid artery etc.)

First two are priority. Actually just the first is bare minimum.
Also. I have to wake up at 5:30 AM because they're making me go to the ER lmao. Need to be asleep by maybe 1 AM.

 

[BetsySundrop]

Lol this thread is perfect. My main (current) goals:

Take down christmas trees/decorations.
Pay bills
File annual guardian papers with court
Order stuff for 2023 gardening
Organize disaster of a sewing area
Massive amount of yardwork to catch up on
(Should work on that every day in order to have it done in 5 years. It's pretty bad...)
Find caregiver for family member
Seriously- put up the holiday decorations. We can't have them still up on Valentine's Day, again. Adding hearts and calling it a "valentine tree"....not gonna work this year.
