I do stuff

I used to write down a separate to-do list each day, but then I realized that there are some things I do every day, so I came up with the idea of having daily goals that stay the same. 

It's good having a list like that because it means you don't have to think, and you know that everything important is being addressed. I don't have to think, is this the day I do X? because I do X every day. 

The problem I had for a long time though, was that I didn't do my daily goals. The difficult process of tapering off valium, and stopping drinking, which is related to that process, is what made my goals essential and not just desirable.
