Daily Checklist – Grrrr

I really despise my new rule about doing the daily checklist post before the more “fun for me” one. But while I despise it, it totally works. I’m so much more motivated to do my tasks when I know it means that I get to blog.

Today I:

Made bed.

Emptied dishwasher.

Cleaned kitchen.

Swept kitchen.

Changed over load of laundry (after two days of working on laundry it is officially the last dirty load in the house!, at least for the next thirty minutes)

Made list this morning, but I probably didn’t sleep as well as if I had made it last night. There were several “have tos” for today that bugged me because I hadn’t written them down. It is so hard to get up out of the warm cozy bed to go make a list. Maybe I should put the list on my nightstand.

Last night I again wasn’t feeling well, so I copped out of all of my evening tasks, except for laying out clothes. I did, however put away most of the 4 foot by 6 foot pile of clean laundry I had folded yesterday afternoon.

Just now I wiped down the bathrooms.

Yay! I’m done with this so I can write something else!

    I know this post is from forever ago. But, I have a question about your list. Did you (do you ) put everything on the list? Like all your non-negotiables plus the “one more things”? I ask because for a while I was making lists & put EVERYTHING on the list. I did this because I wanted to see what I did all day. I hated getting to the end of the day & knowing I was busy but had no clue what I did because everything looked as is. I put showering, getting ready, meals, going to work, extra curriculars and all the household chores I was trying to get done. If it took time, I put it on the list. If it was something I was liable to forget, like putting something in the mail or finding something in the basement, I put it on the list. I’m one of those people that if I think of something that I need to do, or someone asks me to do something & I don’t do it RIGHT THEN, I forget. It really helped me see where my time went. I have fallen off the list wagon but am considering getting back on. So, I was curious about how you did (do) it.

      Hmmm. Well, I’m now big on certain things being habits. Habits don’t require a list. In my 28 Days e-book, I had someone ask if I was going to make printable lists of the 4 habits. I chose not to because while I do go through phases of Extreme List Making, I am a list-loser. Like, I lose the list. So having things boiled down to the VERY most essential habits to the point where I don’t need a list to remember them helps me.

      Does that even answer your question?
