For awhile I was putting everything on my to-do lists.
- Kids appointments
- Allergist
- Blog 1 reminder
- Blog 2 reminder
- Email Newsletter reminder
- Pitching to magazines
- Pitching to work for hire clients
- Read a chapter
- Workout
- Volunteer work for Moms Demand Action
- Writing a chapter
- Assignments from editors
- Reconciling my account
- Meditate
- Stretch
- Use eye drops
- Take fish oil
- Drive kid to soccer
- Drive kid to TKD
Then I had more long term ideas on my to do list:
- Write that Rumpelstilskin story
- Plan a diversity event for the family
- Watch "Father Ted"
- Visit that waterfall in Apollo
- Try rock climbing
- Visit Bayernhof Museum
- Write that story about renting a kid
- Do a craft with kids
But on many days, I'd add some things into my day, that weren't on my to do list. They were important, but when I got them done, I didn't have anything to check on my list. It sometimes felt bad, sometimes I didn't care.
- Laundry
- Dishes
- Cleaning up my office
- Helping kids with homework
- Return library books
- Grocery shopping
- Buy birthday gift
- Return stuff to Target
- Cook meals
- Drink enough water
Some days I can't seem to find a balance. I'm all or nothing. Some days I want to write everything done and check it all off, somedays I want to delete it all and just do what I want to do that day.
Do you keep a to do list?
What do you to with to do lists?
