I've been in a bit of a rut lately and have somehow gotten out of the habit of writing out my to-do lists. The results have been predictable: I haven't accomplished nearly the amount of things that I want/need to accomplish on a daily basis.
Last night I decided that this had to come to an end so I sat down and wrote out an extensive to-do list for today and tada: I finished the entire list by 4:00 pm. (Okay, not the entire list. Go to book club and say my nightly prayers are still on the list but they are kind of time sensitive) How on earth did I forget the power of The List? Also, it would appear that I need longer even more extensive lists.

On a side (and completely non-related) topic. It really bugs me that my local "oldies" station thinks that 80s music now qualifies as "oldies". Way to make me feel old this morning!!! Clearly I never should have switched over from NPR. They never make me feel old--occasionally depressed or sad at the state of our world (hence the need for some happy oldies music) but never old.
I was just thinking that about 80's music today. I just put a bunch of 80's stuff on my ipod recently and was singing along to it today and realized how long ago the 80's really were...I don't like feeling old :(
ReplyDeleteI need to be better about lists. My life has been too unproductive for too long. Plus ya gotta love the sense of accomplishment from crossing things off your list.
ReplyDeleteand I agree... 80's music is in no way oldies. wasn't it just like a couple of year ago? So not oldie.
That is SO the way I function.
ReplyDeleteUm, and now I'm realizing I haven't made a list in a week or more.
