UnKAOS did what it was meant to do.

Give me structure, routine and self discipline

help me not feel bad when I don't have everything done, it taught me to be ok with a mess or a job that needs doing because i know I have already allotted time to it, iow, I'm already on it . It trained me to stop being so random, to just keep my mind on the tasks and no others. No mission creep.

and now when i cbf i have the self discipline to do the jobs, i do them because it's the time to do them. Even tho I have no boss I do them. One foot in front of the other.

Imma use those skills now for the things that I really want to do, reading, art work, study, writing . And some life goals

baby steps. Taking back agency after being subjected to chaos
