Curlychaos SoapDragon is sending lots of love and support to Wren

Stop thinking in an "all or nothing" way. (read all 3 entries…)
Holidays 20 months ago

are the worst when it comes to my all or nothing-thinking. I have 5 days off work for easter, which is including a weekend, so it`s really just 3 extra days. And when I have some days off work, I keep telling myself that I should just enjoy it, relax and do a few nice things, or maybe get a few chores done. But I just can`t help myself, I always end up making great plans of working like crazy to teach agatha to be alone, play piano for hours, do a lot of decluttering, invite friends over for dinner several days, read about a book a day, and all sorts of other unrealistic plans. And then I get overwhelmed by my own ambitions, thinking things like “well, I was going to play piano for 2 hours every day, and I`ve played for about an hour total, clearly I can just give up on pianopractice this easter.” I need to snap out of it. Now.

I wonder...

could something like “waste a certain amount of time without feeling guilty” be a default part of your holiday plans?
