So, to keep myself excited about my advocacy work without dealing with advocacy burnout, I use a fun mindset shift to imagine that I am fighting against dragons.

Today’s Quest is to spend some time with people you care about and enjoy.

For me that looked like an early Thanksgiving event with family, followed by a craft night over at a friends house.

For you that might look like seeing, calling, or texting a friend or loved one.

Today’s Quest is to try a dice game.

A dice game is simply using dice to create some momentum in your productivity.

For me that looked like creating two d12 lists of things I wanted to get done and then rolling a 12 sided die to help with my task paralysis.

Today’s Quest is to explore your childhood interests to help you through hard times.

For me, that looked like spending a bunch of the day watching Charmed and playing Pokemon to ease the yuck of my sick day.

For you, that could look like dusting off an old craft, book, or video game.

Today’s Quest is to try something new without any expectations as to where it will lead you.

For me, that is starting a quest to create 60 days of quest suggestions for us as a lead-up to my 30th birthday.

For you, that may look like trying a new recipe or reaching out to a new friend.
