I wonder if you got 10 things done regularly if you would start expecting to get 11 and 12 things done. It is interesting how we can have expectations of how productive we should be and judge it every day. Some days get sidetracked and some tasks take longer than expected. Chasing perfect days is tough.

I struggle with this too. Most days I feel I don't do enough. I don't accomplish enough each year. There is always something I should have done already. Why haven't I done it? This mindset ruins my self-acceptance because I am never satisfied with myself. I never feel I am 'whole'.

I want to learn to accept my results every day and not judge myself harshly. The punishment and guilt takes some of the enjoyment out of living, doesn't it? Instead of chasing perfect days, I think every day happens perfectly for that particular day and should be accepted without punishment or blame.
