Did I actually do anything today?

A lazy hour on the beach, in October

Some days I feel like I haven’t done anything. My time has passed with not much to show for it.

Here are some good things to write down that help me gain emotional control and relax.

• Time I spent with my wife and kids
• Writing I have done, even a little bit
• Food prep
• Shopping
• Cleaning
• Clean up around the house
• Other household chores
• Positive conversations
• New information found or passed on

By checking these categories, I can always find three positive things about the day.

And that helps.
