i might get thrown over a bridge for saying this and i dont always do them but --  say the line bart  a to-do list we so often think of to-do lists as ways to manage the things we dont want to do but i use them to note down one productive thing i want to get done today and then the rest are just things i know will make me happy do some art catch up with x plan some dd   because out of sight out of mind is such a huge problem with me ill then stick this list up somewhere i visibly see it the moment i get out of bed and itll help me actually remember the things i want to do i cant trust my brain to do it for me  combining this with a positivity journal has really really been helping me along with medication will it last who knows im a mess habits are hard to keep but ill keep doing it until i stop and then pick it up when i invariably forget to do it for two months
