Just one thing: 30 October 2022

[jazzyjj]

It's challenge time!

Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished!

Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

Go!

New to the comm, really like the idea of little mutual external validation <3

My accomplishments from the last 24h are: made dinner and laundry and washed dishes!

Go you!

There are a few other communities with similar goals on different topics, like justcreate. Me, I do recurring posts on Good News, Hard Things, and Cuddle Party. I started those years ago when a friend mentioned how scattered society was getting; I figured that I could offer folks a way for online friends to do some of the social support that facetime friends used to supply.

Good job.

Excellent, great to see more of this kind of activity. I've been trying hard to only set very small goals so exceeding them becomes almost inevitable :D

Re: Go you!

[ysabetwordsmith]

I have found small goals very effective. For New Year's resolutions, I have lists of one-day, one-week, and one-month ideas.

Done!

I planted 30-something daffodil bulbs today. That's the last of the small bags. I still have the two huge bags to do.

Much kudos. I'm really not a gardening person but the garden (and the conservatory) desperately need me to tidy them up for winter... Maybe next weekend?

Re: Done!

I wish you luck with the project.

At some point I'll need to cover the flowerbeds with leaves, but there aren't actually enough leaves on the patio yet.

Made tarka dal in the slow cooker.

Carved pumpkins with the children.

Roasted pumpkin seeds.

Tarka dal is so nice, go you!

Got 90% of the way through the Great Laundering. Also had time to take a walk and to watch the 1984 Ghostbusters with others.

Funnily enough, laundry is my favourite chore. Would do ten lots of laundry in exchange of someone else doing the vacuuming...

[silveradept]

There's a robot that does a lot of that for us. So long as we keep it clean and maintained, it keeps us from having to run the vacuum ourselves.

Wrote down some of the tasks I'd need to get done for Tuesday.

Helped put the bed back together.
