I am a goal orientated person. I like to have a clear list of what I need/want to do each day, and to tick it off (mentally or otherwise) as I go through it. If I don't have a list, then I don't tend to get a lot done, as I am also particularly good at mucking round, fluffing round, and generally letting time go past me as I sit on the sofa. Too much sitting around reduces my self-esteem, so it is important that I have lists, or have acheivements that I can elucidate.
Serenity to me is a day where I got the balance right between having too much or too little on my list, and got enough done so I feel like I am making progress towards my goals without exhausting myself.
One of my goals is to learn to like myself for other reasons, like who I am, rather than what I have done. I have yet to develop a useful list to achieve this!
