Jason Nicholas talks about feeling buried by grading and paperwork, then realizes he's actually finished several tasks. He argues that celebrating small wins, like crossing things off a list, helps fight overwhelm and keeps you going.
I wanted to check in, and I was inside grading today, doing some paperwork, and I was getting frustrated because I have so much, like, stuff I got to catch up on. And I'm sitting there getting frustrated because I feel like nothing's getting done, and a sense of overwhelm and unaccomplishment. But then I realized, you know, I actually got a couple things done, and I think sometimes we need to remember to celebrate the small things in life, the little victories, whether it's crossing something small off your to-do list or, I don't know, making some kind of progress with one of your goals.
