What I love Wednesday

I love checking things off my ever-present to-do list.

My backpack and laptop bag each have ridiculous numbers of several different notebooks in them that I specifically keep for writing things down. Things swirl round and round in my head until I get them on paper and can release them from my crazy person brain thought circle. I think a sane and superhuman normal person can probably keep track of all the chores they need to do without making elaborate lists. I, however, am not one of those people. (Could this be me?)

When my to-do list seems to overflow with all the little chores and tasks that need to be done at home, at work, at school and online, nothing is a better stress reliever for me than getting some of those things done and checked off my list!

Just getting the groceries, taking out the garbage, going to  the mailbox and all those trivial things, let me know that I am getting things done and life is continuing on and it makes me feel better every time. I find I get easily overwhelmed with all the things in my life that need to be done. I've tried to relax, take things one day at a time and not beat myself up if I don't feel like doing something one night after work. But the reality is that letting these things build up just gnaws at me and stresses me out even more. It's has taken me a long time to learn this lesson, but now I know that nothing is better than just getting. it. done. 

I won't tell you about all the lame ass necessary things that I currently on my lists.
