As far as personal goals go, yes, I try to make goals for myself, both daily goals and long-term goals. Some days don’t go as planned, and I tend to be extremely hard on myself when I fail to accomplish what I set out to do.

My goals each day are to make time for writing and a little artwork. Because I have ADHD, dissociative identity disorder, and high anxiety, I frequently have days when taking care of my animals, doing housework, and running errands are all I manage to get done.

However, I am having more and more good days, especially recently, when I make time for writing and artwork. I have started a new medication for ADHD that has significantly improved my focus, attention, and productivity.

I still have days when I struggle, but they are becoming fewer and farther between.
