Conundrum - great idea. I have done the written list thing in the past, but not with an applied time frame (an daily itenerary, I guess)

We may be near a Staples today. I'll grab a daily planner & start doing this.

BTW - do you also have the overwhelming compulsion to physically cross off the items once done? LOL

Question - OOC does anyone else have an secret urge & strong appreciation for some kind of "reward" or is it just me?

I prefer to put a giant check mark across each item. :D

What kind of "reward" do you mean?

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. We were out of state on vacation and some family issues came up unexpectedly that really have me in a loop.

Anything as a tangible reward seems to work. I cannot explain it but it makes me want to continue the positive focus more. And if special attention is paid to me I sheepishly admit it sets off a "trigger" inside me that makes me want to do things to please that person, especially the Missus.

If I do not get acknowledged tangibly it has the opposite effect.

I am still trying to figure out if it has anything to do with AS or just "me".
