My electronic Todo list has become a mess. Lots of dead tasks, meaning stuff I intended to do but never got to doing, and which may have become irrelevant. Looking at that old and never ending list now feels demoralizing.

Plus, I enjoy the pleasure of crossing off a completed task by hand.

Also, weirdly enough, I have come to like my own handwriting and enjoy writing my hand. Possibly this is because I was reprimanded by my first grade teacher for poor and messy handwriting, my only academic fault back then, and as an adult I worked on it and really improved it, so maybe I feel that I deserve that feeling 'I like my own handwriting'. I have even been praised for it once, about a decade ago, whom I sent typed up letters via snail mail and wrote the address by hand. It felt great and was unexpected.

So, going by the principle that enjoyment is highly motivational, I have bought a bound notebook from Amazon with extra sheets. Starting to use it today. Will report back to the thread.
