encouragement note

Description

An encouragement note is a scrap of paper that pretends to comfort a flagging spirit while ruthlessly demanding more effort and self-sacrifice. Its handwritten kindness is merely the appetizer to a poison cocktail of guilt and urgency. The recipient feels momentarily uplifted, only to discover the note quietly increases their to-do list for tomorrow.
