Make Your Damn Bed

Take your time with the journey and lean into what YOU really want at a pace that works for you, not against ya.

There's a freedom in traveling alone, don't be afraid to do it and take control of your own schedule.

Pit stops are enjoyable, when you let yourself enjoy 'em.

The Pareto principle states that for many outcomes, roughly 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes (the "vital few").

Increase productivity by focusing on the 20% of the input that impacts 80% of the output.

“How to 80/20 your work:

(1) Make a list of the 10 things you spend the most time on.

(2) Circle the two that truly drive your results. Do more of those.

(3) Look at the others. Eliminate ruthlessly. Automate or outsource what you can. Press pause on the rest.

(4) Repeat” — James Clear

Sometimes we think we're helping and we're actually making it worse.

Protect yourself first, it'll show others they can do the same.

Parkinson’s Law - according to wikipedia, is the adage the amount of work expands to fill the time available for its completion. If you wait until the last minute, it only takes a minute to do. If you give yourself a week to do a two hour task, psychologically speaking the task will increase in difficulty to fill the time available.

Typically stress and tension and overwhelm fill the space of the task. I’ve had months to do my taxes and the amount of stress thinking I have done considering doing the taxes, I could’ve completed the damn things three times over already. 

If you’re trying to clean your house and you don’t have a time limit, you may get caught up detailing a drawer for two hours but if a friend is on their way and you have 20 minutes to tidy - you’ll get more done in less time. 

Set a vision and a REASONABLE timeline to accomplish the tasks, and watch your time open up!

Take care of sh*t before it compounds. Take care of future you.

Ask yourself: "is this gonna cause me more pain/drama/stress in the future?"

In a healthy relationship, you will feel respected by your partner. Your emotions are validated and they don’t tell you how to feel or get angry with your emotional states. 

A healthy relationship means you and your partner respect that you each have lives outside of each other. You respect each others space, privacy, relationships, and goals. Encouraging each other to be full people outside of your relationship can make such a huge difference in both party’s mental health. 

A healthy partnership means each partner is treated as an equal. Conflicts can be rational and calm and openly communicated. You are both free to express your feelings and you understand each other’s boundaries and preferences within them. 

 A healthy relationship is definitely not always perfect, but abusive or controlling behavior should never be a part of a healthy relationship.  

Partners treat each other like that - partners.

TW: ABUSE

https://stopthehurt.org/is-your-relationship-headed-for-trouble-recognizing-red-and-yellow-flags/

Yellow Flags in a Relationship

Early signs of abuse may be based on attempts to control the other person. Some “Yellow Flags” that a relationship is turning abusive include: 

• Always checking in on you (by text, calling, or asking your friends/family/workplace where you are) 
• Not supporting or encouraging you  
• Putting you down (in private or in front of others) 
• Pressuring you to do things that make you uncomfortable. 
• Becoming angry too quickly or unreasonably. 
• Love Bombing – overwhelming you with affection and talk of the future very early in the relationship 

Red Flags in a Relationship

Abuse may escalate to a “Red Flag,” which is any behavior that attempts to gain power and control in a relationship. Common red flags include: 

• Intimidation (through looks or actions) 
• Threatening to harm you or loved ones (including pets) 
• Damaging/destroying your belongings, or home 
• Accusing you of being unfaithful without any proof  
• Using their financial power as a justification for their actions 
• Showing extreme jealousy of your friends/family  

Even one or two of these behaviors in a relationship is a red flag that abuse may be present.
