I was really struggling, in part due to recent depression, with completing tasks/chores at home. It's only me at home right now and I lacked the motivation to fight the depression at home after fighting it to get to and through work. A friend suggested doing a challenge with me and I figured it couldn't hurt.
Each day for a week, she and I and another friend agreed on a set of household tasks that needed to be completed that day. If we succeeded each day, we'd get together and celebrate.
It worked! I accomplished so much that week. Since then, I've found success through simply sending my list to the second friend each day and she is doing the same. I feel some accountability this way and am more productive at home.
This increased productivity has also improved my mood and is assisting in overcoming the depression. I'm very blessed.
