small achievements: productivity + self-care
today I really turned things around and I’m honestly pretty happy with myself.
I had a fairly productive day today and honestly made myself feel so much better. we all have good days and bad days and it’s important for me to remember both. it’s the small achievements each day that make the biggest difference to our overall happiness. I think as well it’s important to remember to have a balanced life as well as trying to work hard to achieve your best grades.
so here’s a list of what I’ve achieved/done today:
- made my bed
- wrote + finished my extended outline for my dissertation
- collected tickets that I need to sell for uni orchestra
- put away/folded washing
- loaded + unloaded the dishwasher
- collected a parcel
- tidied my room
- printed out all my readings for the week ahead
- batch cooked some food
- washed + dried my hair
- called my family
- messaged friends
- emailed to reschedule an appointment
- deleted old emails + read new ones
- listened to music v loudly
- watched b99
writing a list like this makes me see that I am working hard and achieving things even if I sometimes don’t feel like i’m making any progress.
[this might not seem like a big deal to some people but I’m happy]
