mildly infuriating: the result of my "week off" (lemmy.ml)

Super exhausted now. Some of the failed (red) tasks were crucial and are really going to bite me in the arse, and I didn't even get half a day for a relaxing walk or something. 0 income generated, 0 rest, just catching up at least 80 % on general life stuff. Had to skip all work-out, too (usually 3x per week).

I think you did great. I don't think there's much point beating yourself up about this, that's a while bunch more ticks than crosses. If anything, I might suggest that you didn't do enough for your own personal well-being but... Life does that.

Seriously, I know you're annoyed about this, but congratulations on getting as much done as you did, it's genuinely an achievement.

Thanks! I realise just now how utterly hopeless it would have been without meds to get things done. Never stood a chance back then. Back in the day, I would have tried to wing it without list, and thought like: "Nice, all week off. Just these two letters and the email and the obvious stuff."

Then I would have procrastinated on that, and all the forgotten extra things would have hit me randomly like a micro adrenaline shocks.
