I'm a big on for "shoulds." I go to bed at night and think, "What did I accomplish today? What did I produce?" It helped for a season when I needed drive and determination, but now, in my 70s, retired, with health issues, it's a very unhelpful companion. I think I should "fire" Should. "You are so fired." Thanks, Tarek.
This one really hit home and especially the ongoing should list that never ends. I’m a master at that one! Thanks for the reminder to keep things in perspective; especially during holidays when it’s even more important to focus on the people and true blessings in our lives. Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family!
My wife and I are very different in this respect. She’s a perfectionist and if she’s going to clean the house, she’s getting the whole thing done at once. I’m like - I’ve got a 4 minute window here: I’ll unload the dishwasher, but loading it - that will get done again at some point…
The two personality types complement one another very well as long as each sees it. Most of the time, at work or home, the two personality types clash and get frustrated with one another, when they should see how working together, they’re much better.
My mind gets distracted quickly, so I’ll do a little work here, then jump over and do something else, leaving a job unfinished. I need my wife to help me get it done. On the other hand, she needs my help to keep getting little things done, so the big task is much smaller.

Fire Should!!! I love it. I’m onboard Linda.

Thank you Tammy! As I told Susanna, when I write these posts, I'm preaching to myself. Thanks for reading and have a great Christmas!

Can you come to my house and help Rob?
