Getting Things Done

I find that the more specific my daily list, the more I accomplish.

For example, this:

• sew bags
• vacuum
• work on paper order
• haircut
• exercise
  

is not as effective as this:

• serge edges of bags, wash and dry
• vacuum bedrooms
• cut out all paper for order
• haircut at 3 p.m.
• walk 20 minutes, yoga 20 minutes
  

I always have good intentions and high hopes when I make my list.  But, if it is not specific, I tend to be unrealistic in my goals, and then get overwhelmed and discouraged.  Before I know it, the day is done, and I am disappointed in myself for not accomplishing enough.

With a specific list, my work is broken into small, doable elements which I can fit in around the anchors of my day such as meals, work, prayer, Bible time, daily household maintenance chores, etc.

Hope you all have a productive, and fun day!
