Hi. Rebel62
Mental lists never worked for me. I would forget what was on there, but stress out trying to remember.
I love planners, though. I started using them again just for my college classes but then realized how much stress it relieved to write the items/errands down and not have to worry about forgetting them. And I got much more done. It's hard for me to lose them, too
I'm happy you are in a better place. I think it is great that you are getting a respite from the stress. Stress kills.
And it is good you are getting to make choices out of a place of reflection rather than desperation. Desperate choices are usually only bandaid solutions anyways.
