>> augh, FELT. e-e i've gradually been learning to break tasks into smaller slices that are not only easier to check off, but also provide a more... visual sign of progress.<<
I do find that listing times I've done things helps a bit, as in the once-a-month tasks like the Poetry Fishbowl.

That's a good idea.

Sensible.

It works. I've something similar done, long ago, in places with display gardens or statues -- things they can play with using spotlights.

... but not where there are fireflies. They need the dark, because light confuses their signaling. It's a reason why they are diminishing. :( They adore my yard, though; I'm out in the country with trees, tall grass, and short grass but I rarely use pesticides even for spot-treating things.
