Do you keep a “To Do” list? Has it grown impossibly long?
IN MY WORDS – Are you overwhelmed and weary of thinking of all you need to catch up on? I’m with you, sistah….
Work, church, travel, studies, family, friends, relatives, housecleaning, laundry, ironing, yard work and oh yes, I’d really like to do some writing one of these days and finish my novella : ) If you’re a list maker like me (yes, I sometimes add things already finished just for the pleasure of crossing them off) I know you’re reluctant to stop that burst of organization you feel by creating a list.
Lightbulb moment – make an “I did it” list instead. This weekend, I’m writing out all the things I DID accomplish. Big things, little things and all those in between. Because sometimes it’s easier to go with the flow and end the day knowing you did get some things done. Completed. Finis. Today’s example: hubby felt the urge to help clean some of the upstairs – yes, go with it, don’t miss the opportunity for help! Other things didn’t get done but one upstairs room is now in spiffy condition. Well worth trashing the I do list and working with the I DID IT list.
So go ahead, pat yourself on the back for all the things you did manage to do today. Share your progress in a comment even if its something simple.
