Are supposed to make you feel good about checking off to dos and getting things done but they just makes me feel like everything i do are repeating the same sysphean tasks at no change in response like all i have on my lists are school, cleaning or people-pleasing activities or basic human maintainance. Soul crushing. No purpose in it. Doesn't take you any step further, its just.. Maintainance

That too. When school or cleaning a 10 room house or sumthing and u need to do it in 2hrs but 2hrs isn't even gonna cover the livingroom, bathroom and kitchen.

Seriously can't wait to live on 16m2

They make everything feel like work that has to be overviewed and analyzed for failure in productivity.

I like check lists for typ things i need to pack and to write a list of what i need to read but then it comes to checking them off and every one i check off is another five i have not done and becomes increasingly stressed about

Understandable tho when u literally have worked so hard on it for such a long time and suddenly it is done and no more work to do.

Yes I guess

I saw my supervisor randomly today and he asked if I could help looking at an experiment and he has emailed it, idk exactly what it's about and I should look at it but I haven't properly eaten for two days now so I can't right now

I also have checklists for daily tasks (which are both work related like grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning, but also things like new series dropped that I want to watch or a new podcast episode) and then I have a daily tracker for things like making my bed, doing dishes, getting enough sleep, doing stuff that help me with my projects (I'm doing a project pan, so all the things I'm emptying, I'm giving myself a bonus point through the tracker if I do something to help use up those things))
Though I see it more as a "look, you achieved this much" rather than a "you have to do this and that"
like my schedule while planned out months in advance is still super flexible and I can cater to my day like that. same with the tracker, I don't have to do those things, but it helps me see how consistent I am wih routines.
though I also went the way of gamifying it for the extra kick and then my rewards are things I usually would spend money on willy nilly and now I have to earn it - which also means I spend less money on stupid and needless shit, it has really become a win win for me

but if it starts to feel like a chore you have to battle through, then of course these things won't help in the least. I seriously think not everyone is made for enjoying working through completely planned out and specified tasks like that

It gives me such bulletjournal vibes u know and idk im more of a one book for everything person w no premade pages and such, just whatever u feel like when u feel like it. And obvi everything in my life is a chore at this point but that's a different issue.

what do you mean by one book for everything? I kinda assumed bullet journals were one book for every aspect in your life kind of things?
