I was having my weekly wine date with my main girl tonight, and she told me about a thing. She's teaching a class on productivity--trying in vain to teach creative writing majors Agile method she'd say--but in particular, she's teaching a book on productivity. She told me about one of the techniques the author of the book recommended as a general better-type-of-person centering exercise. At the end of each day, write down three positive things. We were a bottle in, so we both got as far as "having wine together" and "dogs" but I should do it for real.
1. goldfinch and monarchs on my daily 3 mile walk over my work breaks
2. nice mom next door being really friendly to me ever since I brought her tomatoes
3. team lead told me I had "greatly helped the team" so yeah everybody there thinks I have a masters in physics and am not one of those creative writing majors who learned Agile
Like, I feel a little better, and I only spent about 43% of today thinking about all the dumb shit I'm carrying.
