Woke up this morning and realized my entire weekly spread was just a list of chores.

My partner pointed out it looked like a punishment chart, which made me see I'd forgotten to track anything that brings me joy. How do you balance the must-dos with the good stuff in your layouts?

Oh wow, does that ever hit home for me! I've totally done the same thing and it makes the whole week feel like a drag before it even starts. What helped me was literally drawing a small box for "one good thing" in each daily box, so I have to write down something nice that happened, even if it's just a good cup of coffee. It forces me to look for a bright spot.

The "one good thing" box just makes me feel bad for having such low standards. My bright spot today was that my pen still worked. It's a real low bar over here.
