I am feeling very overwhelmed with more physical health problems adding to my very long list of physical health problems
And also with my family members mental health problems
And also with my families lack of support and encouragement and communication

How'd you go with your list and reports @tyme?
I find success spirals a good way to tackle long lists. Basically you just start with the smallest, easiest thing you can possibly get done. That will give you a small sense of achievement. Then the next, and the next, each one making you feel better about getting things done until you're glowing with energy from all the things you got done.
Me personally, was a bit of a slow week. Just trying to make sure I get my morning routines in at a minimum. Now that I'm not working it's a struggle to find things to keep myself busy. Lots of reading, walking and cleaning mostly.
How's your week ahead look?

Yes @Mr_Be ! That's what I do with my lists! I get the smallest most achieveable out of the way then tackle the hard stuff.
I have 3 lists on my computer screen. I haven't finished any yet 😞
I'll get there though!
Happy Lisiting!
What's happening on your side @Mr_Be ?
