Been writing down just 3 things to keep my focus on each week that I really feel have value. It's really helped my mindset and productivity. Sure you have other stuff to do but the focus on what you actually want makes me feel like I'm much more laid back and not chasing every little thing popping into my head.

Yes and I thought, if I knew I was not such an ugly kid, I would have lived with less anxiety.

It’s about the quote not the person. OP could just have very much excluded the name but the message would still have the same impact.

This is absolutely how I motivate myself to do chores. Including occasionally passing things forward to future me when I don't have the gumption today.
