Create a reverse to do list. Write down things you’ve accomplished that day already: brush teeth, eat breakfast, feed kids/pets, take meds Then, check all of those items off, and add 3 more things you want to accomplish. It’ll be easier to get those three things done, since you already have a dopamine hit from doing the first few things!

God damn that’s a great idea
I do that sometimes on Habitica!!
Nice!
Love this
Great idea
Awesome! Thanks
This helped me today. Thank you!
Genius
If i didn't have my whiteboard i wouldn't get anything completed lol
I have lists after lists and books full I write every thing every feels what I have to do in hole year its only way I keep organised and I even right my phone conversation down before I ring 🙂😆 sounds mad but it's the only way my structure works
Does anyone ever want to do a to do list and start it and not complete the actual writing down or creating of the list ... that's me! Or joining an app and doing it instead of the things I am supposed to do like right now. Lol
That's a really good tip thanks
I’ve been doing this lately and it’s wonderful for my sense of well-being. An add on is that when I’m overwhelmed I try to limit the kinds of things I put on my todo list. I ask myself if it’s a “glass ball” or a “plastic ball”. If it’s a plastic ball I let myself drop it. I don’t even write it down. If it actually matters to me I’ll be able to pick it back up when I’m doing better.
Love this idea!
Very clever! It's all about perception after all.
Love this idea, considering I utilize “to-do” lists but some days get overwhelmed by the tasks needing to get done.
I love that
