I recently (meaning on Sunday) decided to be more persistent in cleaning/keeping house. I’ve been struggling with getting started as piles of shtuff continue to grow without any dents being made in the general clutter, so I committed to doing one “thing” (whether that’s tidying one spot, cleaning one counter, making one bed, etc) in one room every day as a way to get started and not (continue to) feel overwhelmed. Not to brag on myself, but I’ve got an unbroken streak so far! Hopefully I stay steadfast in this and this method stands the test of time 😅

Yes! It’s worked wonders for minimizing the negative self talk. I’ve been feeling more productive, and therefore been feeling better about myself as a person

I needed to read this for so many different reasons. Procrastination is one of my worst faults, and I will admit that I've been getting pretty discouraged about it lately. Your article was quite timely for me, so thank you!
