Write everything
Ideas, Lists of favorites, List of stories…
Closing shift
Reset your place as if you were closing a store every night
Break your to do list down into smaller tasks
Role play
Create a persona, role play that person to do chores and any other task. Put a playlist related to the theme of the environment you want. It makes doing otherwise boring tasks fun.
Time yourself
Make a challenge out of a task. Put on your favourite music album and challenge yourself to finish your task before the end of the album. You can use music to time your time blindness in the shower (Finish showering in… 3 songs !)
Be kind to your future self
Remember that when you do a task now, you’re making things easier for your future self. You might not want to do something now but you’ll want to do it even less tomorrow. Preparing your clothes/bag for the next day.. etc). Reframing a chore/preparation as “helping your future self” takes off the feeling of obligation that stops us from doing things. It becomes more of an optional kind action.
Early appointments

Avoid overwhelming weekends
Spending one day a week at home is very beneficial for recharging. Saturdays out (outings, spending time with family and friends, night out) Sundays in (home cooked meals, movies, house cleaning, guilt-free relaxing, long baths, home workout, Reading books)
