kate you should post that points system thejunglenook gave you

i will personally award you points for doing so

but i think we could all use this because of reasons

and when i say we at this point in time yes i do mean i

Right so I was having a bad time and Shelly developed a points system. The guiding philosophy is to be as generous in awarding them as you need to be to get through the day, and have rewards for every 100 or whatever (mine is usually 10 minutes of Minecraft). More onerous tasks are worth more, of course. Some examples:

Wake up: 5pts. (Slept in? -20. Up early? bonus 40! and those stack every half hour.) Take meds, another 5. 

10pts each meal.

10-20 for morning toiletries, especially if you wash your hair.

Put on pants you didn’t wear to bed, 10. Another 10 for a whole outfit of real clothes.

10-20 points for each of the items on Unfuck Your Habitat’s Daily list.

Work out: 60

Check work email: 10, 5-20 for writing responses.

Attend a meeting: 20 

40-60 for whatever your work tasks are.

Go to bed at a reasonable hour: bonus 50 for the next day.

You get points for writing too: Review what you previously wrote, 10. Review notebook for ideas, 5. Add to notebook planning, 10. Tell [Shelly] how awesome this part is and laugh while she gets confused, 5. Actually write (per # words?), 50.

Point values are doubled when you feel shitty, quintupled if you’d rather be dead. But reward thresholds stay the same.
