High fives! Amazing stories and indeed motivating.
I have one too! I don’t know what the word is in English, but today I posted my defence letter for a traffic violation ticket. Long story short, in July, because the setting sun was shining in my eyes I started braking too late and ran a red light. I stopped 2 meters over the line on the zebracrossing, backed up and took my place to wait for the green light. So I got a ticket, and it was waiting on my desk for 5 weeks, for me to write a defence/explanation. I finally wrote it today and posted it! 4 days before my chance was up.
A project that I organised new ADD style: every step was a separate to do item, started a week early to avoid last-minute-stress-brain-fog, used my clear moments to look at this.
So: Collect papers and put next to computer. Call police to send me the photo’s they took. Research examples of defence letters online. Find the official sunset-time for that day. And luckily a good narative for the letter started in my head, when I was watching TV one evening, and I had a pen and paper nearby. Those scribbles turned into a nice formal explanation of why I was not blame for braking too late.
Nice feeling, bringing it to the postoffice today, on time and all.
Fingers crossed, it could save me 186 euros!!!
