The new goal at my house is to Do A Thing every day. One singular thing for the good of the house.
Cleaned a bathroom? Counts. Cleaned just the toilet? Still counts, its a thing, you did a thing.
The other day, I planned to do laundry. Instead I spent it with my (spouse's) dog who suddenly got violently sick, probably from munching on forbidden cocoa puffs outside (again). THAT COUNTS AS A THING. Being the body that opens the door when the dog is puking is a valuable asset to the functioning of the house. It counts.
Spouse went and bought chicken thighs and I made up boiled-chicken-and-rice and that was The Thing we did that day.
Its just so much nicer to ourselves. "Oh we STILL haven't patched the hole in the ceiling where the plumber had to cut the drywall to fix the leak." Yeah, and? We're still Doing Things.
Be kind to yourself. Did you Do A Thing? Good job. Do another thing tomorrow.
