Like you say, they're really hard to remember to do when you're in the moment. And having read that I realise I still forget to use them. . . <br /><br />Love these ones though. Like one of the card store suggestions, one reason could be that you're just thinking about something completely different!<br /><br />I am most taken with the kudos charts idea. My 'to do' list is forever expanding and at the end of the day I feel completely useless if I haven't done everything. This idea is great! Seven things and seven things only! (if that's the number you choose) Yup seven important things, one day, I like that. I would feel like i'm achieving something daily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-72399295496327572732009-10-28T15:32:00.996-04:002009-10-28T15:32:00.996-04:00As a (proud) DBT Graduate I have a lever arch fold...As a (proud) DBT Graduate I have a lever arch folder full of "coping skills" *sigh*<br /><br />But my #1 has to be crochet.

I check my checking account and log all my expenses in different categories to the point of OCD.<br /><br />Watching money in my bank account grow gives me an odd sense of security and satisfaction. <br /><br />It's like it's telling me if things get back again I have all this money to fund my escape so I can just take off.FuguSushihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113475171888326093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-8322434837120641202009-10-28T13:41:20.773-04:002009-10-28T13:41:20.773-04:00I play the piano or sax.
