SunAngel has a good point. Also @ IZ, writing it down can be very beneficial, as you have a physical reminder of what you have accomplished today, this week, or during whatever period you choose.

A few years ago, I totally fell apart. Half the time I didn't even manage to get my meds in me. A dear friend came and stayed with me, and taught me several things.

One of them was to keep a journal of accomplishments each day. Her rules were simple.She set no goals for me but instead had me note the things I was doing that I hadn't thought accomplished anything. If you get out of bed, you write it down. Take all your meds? write it down. Eat? That counted too. Get dressed, a definite accomplishment! Communicate with someone on phone or on line - definite success.

Every night I would go over the list and see what I had done that day. It was a great mood lifter and I went to bed with a positive feeling. Not only that, but I could see at the end of the week all that I had done, and not be peeved at myself for getting nowhere all week.
