Monday Mark – 19.5 & 20.0
17.5 – For Last Week’s MM: The one productivity system that controls all others: your emotions. When you are in love with what you’re doing, everything gets easier.When you hate what you’re doing, no productivity hack will save you. What would it look like if you didn’t hate that thing you’ve been forcing yourself to do?…

What am I [to you]?
![What am I [to you]?](https://enchipants.blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-26.png?w=1024)
Last night, I asked if you were going to pause the show we were watching (as it was after 9p and you had to work in the morning), except my brain shorted out at, “Are you gonna…” and the words I needed got blown away like a plastic bag in high winds. By the time…

The Struggle is Real
I’ve recently become aware of a concerning pattern with regards to my mental health. I want to note that awareness (admittance?!) of an issue is the first stepping stone in healing/recovery. This isn’t just my opinion, either. Many programs and therapists and all that know that figuring out what the problem is and admitting it…

Monday Mark – 18.5 & 19.0
17.5 – For Last Week’s MM: People don’t burn out from doing too much. They burn out from doing too little of what matters. The only thing worse than failing at something meaningful is succeeding at something meaningless. Think of your most recent success. Was it meaningful? If it wasn’t, what do you wish you’d tried…

It’s a Slippery Slope
Recovery from Addiction is a mountainous climb that involves many treacherous situations. One wrong move and you’re sliding down that slippery slope back to the bottom. I’m addicted to nicotine, but I won’t say that I fully understand other addictions. I believe I have a good enough grasp of it, based on the research and…

17.5 – For Last Week’s MM: When people ask, “What is my life purpose?” What they’re actually asking without realizing it is: “How can I use my time in a way that feels meaningful?” You don’t find your purpose.You build your purpose, experiment by experiment, mistake by mistake. What do you spend your time on that feels meaningful?…

16.5 – For Last Week’s MM: Everything good comes to an end.Learn from it. Grow from it. Be grateful for it. Everything bad comes to an end.Learn from it. Grow from it. Be grateful for it. What’s something good in your life that ended? What did you learn? What’s something bad in your life that ended?…

Stranger Things
I am a LITTLE obsessed with Stranger Things. I have the main theme as an alarm tone. One of my favorite things to wear is an overly large Stranger Things long-sleeve shirt (it has pockets). Since the first half of the newest (and last?!) season dropped over the holiday, I asked The Boyfriend to do…

Monday Mark – 15.5 & 16.0
15.5 – For Last Week’s MM: If you’re not willing to be laughed at, you’ll spend your life clapping for people who were. There are graveyards full of people who constantly told themselves “one day.” What are you avoiding right now because you’re afraid to be laughed at? What would it take to stop saying “one…

The Constant Battle
I am cowering in the trenches, covered in mud and sweat, the efforts of this fight having taxed me beyond my capacity. My eyelids clench shut as another wave of darkness howls over my head, whipping my hair and clothes in a torrent that drags on for what feels like hours. Despite my closed eyes,…

Monday Mark – 14.5 & 15.0
14.5 – For Last Week’s MM: Everything you believe will one day fail you. Let it. Because that’s how you grow. When’s the last time you said, “I changed my mind”? Is there a “truth” you hold onto that might actually be holding you back? Pick one belief you’ve never questioned and ask: “What if I’m…

Safety First
Whew. This is a deep one, yeah? I sat and pondered this question for a few, because I feel like my knee-jerk answer (to be seen as “kind”) was merely surface level and not nearly accurate enough. While I do wish to be seen as someone that is kind, it doesn’t do justice to all…
