I loved this article as always! I relate to so many of your strategies and learned many new ones. I’m very organized like you and cannot leave home or go to sleep if things aren’t in their place. I couldn’t imagine waking up or coming home to a mess.
Before I retired early as a speech-language pathologist, I felt the same about my office. Before I began to score assessments or write reports, everything in my office had to be in its place. That’s the way my brain works best! 😊
I loved what you wrote about replying to an invitation to something you really have no interest in attending. It’s not worth any anxiety, dread, or even seeing it on my calendar. It is the best feeling to press delete in my phone. Like you said, it’s unnecessary to provide any reason. I’ve also learned long ago just to say as you did, “ I cannot make it.” It’s so freeing!!!! I’m with you totally on turning my cell to do not disturb. It’s not worth my time checking texts, messages, call every second of the day.
I’m going to incorporate many of your other suggestions and ideas into my daily life to increase my productivity.
