  wanna-dos. Examples can be found in my Interests doc in

[^0]: DaySCOR Scale: A subjective rating of one's day so far. Uses
"DS" prefix, so DS50 is a DaySCOR rating of 50.

    - 10: The worst possible day. Practically unimaginable.
    - 20: A VERY bad day. Horrible. Unbearable.
    - 30: An intensely bad day. Nothing good. Coping is near impossible.
    - 40: A bad day, but not terrible. Some minor good things.
    - 50: A so-so day, a worse than average. Some distressing things.
    - 60: A good day, better than average. Some peace is found.
    - 70: A great day, feeling good overall. Easy to cope with stress.
    - 80: Really great day. Inside & out, extremely peaceful and happy.
    - 90: Amazing day. Feeling that you must express the joyful energy.
    - 00: Perfect day; unspeakable joy. Could not get better.

[^2]: Task BATL: The Balance-first, Approachable To-do List

This is a specific system of productivity meant to build energy levels
and avoid productivity exhaustion. Reference:

https://www.friendlyskies.net/intj/the-balance-first-approachable-to-do-list

If you are a beginner or have suffered from productivity exhaustion or
high stress in the past, be sure to balance your list with plenty of F
and V items.

Keep an eye on the approachability and enjoyment factors. If your list
makes you feel like running away, set some boundaries and design your
way to a more enjoyable experience.

Take care of yourself--you are not a computer. Don't work like one.
