[quote=Anonymous]Issues like this is why I didn't marry someone who was too type A and OCD controlling. The one person I dated like this wanted everything to be so orderly I felt like I had no room to breathe. I have adhd and I didn't want to be reminded about this stuff daily when I had so many of my own goals and wishes to try to handle. I like to be given a deadline so that I can be sure to get it done by that date and the dinner after it sounds wonderful. We do something like this at work as well where we have a weekly plan and then if we get 85% or more of the plan completed, we celebrate as a team. Daily issues and safety, time sensitive, and very large issues I understand have to get done on time, but these one-time things I didn't want to be held to the fire on. I also work so feel like work and childcare and the home is often too much to complete on a perfect schedule. I've gotten so much better on task lists and completing tasks, but it really took until my 40's to get a daily checklist down and still I don't complete all that I want to in a day. I just manage it better. I'm a very good problem solver and can do a wider variety of things than my spouse when ends up meaning that I often have a longer to do list, but these one-time admin/monetary tasks cause me dread.[/quote]
