I'm starting this discussion as a place where we can set our goals daily, help motivate each other to do them and then check in with how we went. It's a place to celebrate when we achieve them or just sit with each other if we didnt and are feeling down about it. Hopefully with encouragement and support from each other we'll tick lots of boxes for our daily goals and feel good about it. Please join in. 😊

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in
@frog ..... when I feel immobilised, and there are days like that, I break even small tasks down into ev n smaller ones .....
Eg. Sweep the floor
1. Take out broom 2. Take out dustpan and brush 3. Take out bin (or shopping bag lined bucket) 4. Sweep one space (how large or small depends on you ) park the dust in a corner. 5, Sweep another space and painting k the dust in a corner 6 +. Repeat until all spaces are swept. 7. Sweep up the corners with the dustpan and brush.
This task can be stretched out across the day, or longer ......
Writing a shopping list ..... leave the pen and paper on a table or bench. Add to it in passing ......
I find that incrementally, things get done.
