I see it like this; Instead of raising our mood from say a base 0, we're getting to 0 from a negative deficit. A net gain, but not really making you feel better.

This is something I'm currently studying for a class so this is really intriguing to me. For what it's worth, that task is not as easy as it seems and you can tell from others here (myself included as I often get frustrated by things like forgetting to send in a rebate form) that it may be more common for people to NOT accomplish this kind of task.

I just wanted to tell you that I hope you can feel some of that sense of accomplishment along with the relief. Whether it's hard or easy is irrelevant....you did it and that's what matters! Good work!

That’s good

I did that too in a late night productivity burst, just in time before a really long flight. I was pretty proud of myself on that one.
