Plush achievements

Every once in a while 
We need to cut some slack for ourselves
A day off
Binging through streaming services
A day full of gaming 
Swiping through dumpster fire social media

While these are relaxing both body and mind
It’s not always fulfilling 
At the end of the day we may look back and think
“What a waste of day”
A total couchpotato

The way I see it
There is another way to cut slack from the usual marathon

This method however, seems more “corporate”
You need a break 
But you need the fulfillment 
You need the feeling of achievement
Yet 
You don’t want your casual tasks 
That’s a different menu
If you focused on them this wouldn’t differ from any other monday 
What you need is something diluted
Something soft to embrace
Something so in the middle
You will be excited for this however it will not drain your spirit

An easy, satisfying task
Clean your computer’s desktop for example
Rearrange books on shelf
Deep clean your espresso machine
Shine your shoes
Stack the wood
These are all small plush achievements
Within your comfort zone
That doesn’t require any special resources
Yet satisfy you when completed
Low hanging fruits
Soothing dopamine
Enjoy it 
Till it wears off!
