Must, must, MUST try to get some things crossed off my list today! Finally remembered to borrow VAX from work so no excuses not to do that. (Novelty of task may even attract Genghis to do a bit. Fingers crossed!) Also, not raining so no excuse not to do garden jobs.

Perhaps another cup of tea first, though. Realisation that only job crossed off list (fill dish washer) needs doing again very depressing. Wish jobs would stay done.

Realisation that only job crossed off list (fill dish washer) needs doing again very depressing. Wish jobs would stay done. that's Exactly how i was feeling on thursday, and one of the reasons i struggle to get things done. it's like the monster in the nightmare who never dies... the bloody jobs just get up every time you kill them! maybe that's exactly the sort of jobs that Adders struggle with - the ones which are repeated ad nauseam and therefore not shiny even to people who forget things?! i have to say i had a really good day yesterday. exhausting, but good. perhaps something to do with the fact that i'd written my list and planned a little the day before, or to do with the fact that there were people in and out all day. or having some mindfulness in there had amazing results... but that's for another thread. when i've got the energy

it's like the monster in the nightmare who never dies... the bloody jobs just get up every time you kill them! In that case, my laundry pile is like the Hydra's heads. I kill one pile, two grow in its place! It's definitely the lack of novelty that is the problem. I find if I only do some jobs once every 5 years, the problem disappears.
