Look, I'm sure I'm not unique in the fact that I'm not a fan of failure. Intellectually, yes, I understand concepts like "failing fast" are an essential part of achieving success — "I didn't fail, I found a thousand ways not to make a light bulb," and blah blah blah.
Still, as a goal-oriented person, I don't like that initial sting of when I realize something has gone horribly wrong — whether it's a paid media campaign gone awry or the realization that I've somehow managed to murder yet another unsuspecting houseplant.
True story, my friends like to joke that I'm a hospice facility for plants, helping them make their transition to the next chapter...

Anyway, I bring this up because one of the ways I'm struggling right now is feeling like a failure at home during quarantine.
When are we going to get another opportunity to have so much time on our hands, right? Yet there are still so many projects in my life that I haven't moved on. I should probably do more cleaning. There are still plenty of books on my nightstand that I haven't read. Etc., etc., etc.
So, to help flip my mindset, I want to focus on what I feel are my accomplishments throughout these past (almost) eight weeks of quarantine:
- I have not caved and watched Tiger King.
- I have not made a single loaf of banana bread. I will not cave on this either, as I'm certain this sudden quarantine trend is a diabolical conspiracy perpetrated by the nefarious banana lobby.
- In fact, I haven't made any bread at all, and I think that's commendable.
- I have, however, learned how to make tiramisu.
- I also completely unpacked my apartment after my move, which (historically) is a task that usually takes anywhere between one month and two years.
- I've hiked more than 65 miles worth of trails in parks and hiking areas around the state of Connecticut.
- Finally, I helped edit another book! The first one was the second edition of They Ask, You Answer. The second is... well, more on that soon!
If you're struggling similarly with feelings of, "I'm not doing enough!" or "No matter how many items I check off my list, I always feel behind!" here is my challenge for you today:
Make a list of your accomplishments from the past eight weeks. Like me, you can also consider not doing something a success, as those speak to your exceptional powers of self-control and the fact that you're a superstar. ⭐
And now, here's THE LATEST...
