Haha I totally do that too! A small part is that then I can look back and see when I did it, but it’s mostly to feel accomplished. 😉

Thanks Erika!

After completing a few tasks that were not on my to-do list, I also like to add them to my list just for the pleasure of crossing off more boxes 🙂

I really like the idea of habit stacking, that’s brilliant.

I talk a lot too about being very specific in your goals, and I also use that technique for chores! For example, instead of writing “laundry” on my to-do list I write “do 1 load of laundry” and then “fold laundry” as a separate task. This works great, especially when you’re easily overwhelmed, because you spell out exactly what has to be done which somehow makes it easier to do, and you also get the dopamine rush of crossing off more boxes! 🙂
