Noooooooo....

NOT those kind of ticks; these kind: ✔️

How many ticks do you give yourself at work, or when you have achieved daily tasks? 
 
I like ticks – they cheer me up. I write a list of things to do at the start of a day or week and I love the moment I tick it / them off – especially tasks I really don’t want to do for example: updating my accounts, completing GOV forms and ironing; I really do find these type of tasks mind-numbingly painful. Ticking is a strategy I employ to prevent procrastination, which can happen quite regularly... ooh look dirty skirting boards... I think I will clean those - whoops - a bit off displacement activity! What are your skirting boards like? 😂

I do like working under pressure. But last minute mad planning or moreover action that is Adrenalin packed can be very stressful also.

So I tick away...
 
Things to tick or that I have ticked off this past week:

Do you like ticks? I used to reward myself with endless cups of tea and a yummy chocolate truffle from M&S. However this clashed with my ticks for reducing my waistline

It’s not just a tick, it’s a tip top tick. 😉
