Have you ever had a day where you got a ton of tasks done but still feel like you got nothing done?

It’s not because I set myself an unrealistic amount of things to do today, in fact, I did not really have a to-do list of things that had to get done today but I still managed to put away the clean clothes, do three loads of laundry, set aside more clothes for donation and put away some clothes in the garage that we won’t be wearing for a while.

So why do I feel lazy today?

I know I have not been lazy at all but my brain keeps telling me that I wasted the day away doing nothing. I think maybe it’s because of the days I have to be in the office, those days I don’t get much done at home. So my mind makes me feel like I need to double up on days I’m remote.

Truth is that my tasks or To-do list are set by myself, and any deadlines are set by myself. Just because I am back in the office doesn’t mean I now have to feel like I need to catch up on my chores or my art projects.

What I need to do is just prioritize what needs to get done and work more on my time management, I will need to make a list of things I know need to get done each week and what is less of a priority. Spring cleaning might take me months but that is also okay.

It’s all about perspective and expectations, no one is expecting me to double up on all my work so why should I push myself to do that?
