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?…

Xmas Season… ugh
A year ago, I was in the throes of questioning my ability to make good choices when it came to men (a repeating pattern, unfortunately), wallowing in mountains of self-pity, severely beating myself up for being utterly stupid – yet again – for falling for sweet words and promises that turned out to be lies,…

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?…

Doom Scrolling
Yesterday’s Xmas Cookie Making Extravaganza at Mom’s was really hard on my body. I pushed myself too hard and stayed too long. I texted The Boyfriend near the end to let him know how difficult it was and he… offered to have tea and a blanket ready for me for when I got home?! I…

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…

My Top 3 “Pet Peeves”
Oof. Well, this one is actually turning out to be a bit more in depth than I expected. I’m going to go with the knee-jerk responses, then dive deeper into the underlying problem. 1.) Tailgaters: This does not refer to the people that gather around to let their tailgates down and drink and sing and…

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…
