Start Your Day With a List

It's amazing what a difference having a list does for the head. If I don't have a list to go by, and I forget to do something, I kick myself over and over about it. But when I have a list written out, and I wasn't able to accomplish a particular task, I simply save it for the next day. No problem, because at least I tried. I can end the day knowing that I will get it done eventually.

I prioritize my list, some things are more important than others. Also, I cross out completed items with different color markers. Looks so pretty when completed.

I've always been a list maker as well. When I retired a couple of years ago, I read on this site or another one a suggestion to write down only 5 things you want to accomplish today, because if you write down 10 things and only accomplish 5, you will feel like a failure. If you complete the 5 items for today and have more time and want to do more, you can always find things to do. I took that to heart for a while to establish a new routine for myself, but now I'm back to writing everything little thing down, so I can see how much I've accomplished every day.

I AM NOT DISORGANIZED, QUITE THE OPPOSITE BUT I MAKE A LIST OF EVERYTHING I NEED TO DO THAT DAY AND AS I DO EACH ONE I CROSS IT OFF SO I KNOW I AM GETTING EVERYTHING I HOPED TO GET ACCOMPLISHED THAT DAY DONE. AND IT ALSO SHOWS ME HOW PRODUCTIVE I'VE BEEN .EVERYONE AT WORK AND HOME MAKES FUN OF ME AND MY LISTS BUT I RARELY FORGET TO DO OR GET SOMETHING
