I did all that?

alpharaposaI'm to level 4 with my Chore Wars character, now. Yesterday, just before ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
anher was on his way home, I was filling in some minor task I'd finished and looked at the list of things I'd finished that day.
I was amazed. I did all that? Granted, most of them were small chores worth 5 xp or so, but there were a couple of big ones in there, too. And it wasn't a short list.
One of the things in the FlyLady beginner's babysteps is to recognize negative thoughts and to change them. Negative thoughts that are fairly common include things like "I don't do enough around here" or "I'll never get it all done." Last week, after doing some minor cleaning in the bathroom, I was surprised at how much cleaner and nicer that little bit of scrubbing had made the room. The "I'll never get it all done" became a much better "Look at all that progress."
This week, with the help of the Chore Wars showing just how much I do every day, the "I don't do enough around here" is replaced with "Gee, I do a lot more than I thought I did." I do things. I can see the progress around me, and I can see a list of accomplishments for the day on the Chore Wars website.
This month is paper clutter month according to FlyLady. It's a monster. I think I'll invest in a +5 paper shredder and see what I can do to tear it down to size.
