If it happens every time, it sort of becomes part of your overall routine. So at least you expect it a bit.
In my mind i keep saying: "if you see something, do something." Like when i see the glass of water that sits on my stairs stuck in vetween two worlds because i left it there. When i said it, i have to put it away, it's the law. But now my vrain used that trick against me and when i'm in the middle of vacuuming qnd i see something more interesting i say: if you see something, do something. And i drop the vacuum. It's a constant battle
I was doing well, making progress on my work projects. Then bam, my wife gets severe vertigo, which leaves her unable to move or look at screens without vomiting. She needs care, our dog needs walking, and work emergencies keep popping up. I don't resent her, I have my own chronic pain and health problems. I just wish I could jump back into work without staring blankly at the screen for hours. Which I can't do because I get interrupted by caring for my wife.
Sorry for the dump.
That sounds tough, best of luck
I have this battle - I am great at routine but terrible at habit. My wife asks me why I do the same thing every day, and I can’t really explain that I have to do it every day or i’ll stop doing it completely.
