not in the life hack money LED youtube dude way
but just some gentle analogizing thinking about energy and health and food and etc bars like "oh no, my arts consumption bar is running low better run to film forum" you know what I mean it simplifies things makes tasks more straightforward feels kind of mindful

recommend this just like, in general bc although it’s not the most meaningful use of my time it’s SO fun. have done this before mid-post meltdown/panic attack and my god does it do a good job at 1) distracting you, and 2) making your nervous system realise you’re actually not about to be swallowed by a whale.
my go to is the Upstairs Neighbours podcast (!!!) and games like Super Mario 3D World, Zelda Breath of the Wild, etc.
(if you’re not a video game person the bottom line of this is: doing multiple things that you enjoy so you don’t have space in your brain to spiral and instead realise that there are still things left to make you happy despite whatever’s making you anxious. good luck!!)

Every grocery run, every chore, every dishwashing is like to time myself and see if I used too many water, or got to find ways to wash my dishes without wasting water, or electricity. At the end of month I’ll see my bill and say, that was a good run, or , could do better. Everything can be a dungeon roguelike game if you let yourself have fun in the mundane
for example: Jan - Feb grocery run- $117 (good run)

Maybe it's stupid but what has helped me the most is making everything a game. For me pretending I'm a Sim works best since this is the game I know best, you can use anything else. I've created myself in The Sims, I'm designing the 'life golas', 'work tasks', 'needs bar' (otherwise I forget to eat or drink water), 'progress bars for certain skills' etc. Making all this is peak procrastination but once I have my progression bar ready to be colored when a taks is completed it's much easier. I just have to gaslight myself into thinking it's not a chore, it's a quest.

always so proud when I do this rather than doing more pretending
