Is anyone else making a Mile Long To Do List for February?
Do you ever find that long lists intimidate you and you just don't look at them because you feel overwhelmed? That happens to me sometimes even though I get more done when I have a list.
ReplyDeleteYes, long lists do overwhelm me, but, somehow, writing them down seems to make it more manageable (at least, I don't have to worry about forgetting anything if it is written down). I just tell myself that it doesn't have to be done at once and only a few things need to be done by a specific date. If I really think about it, this is only a partial list of what I'd like to get done - the living room could do with a new set of sofas, the drapes in the living room and dining area should be replaced, the whole house could do with a coat of paint, etc., etc., etc. But, before all that, I need to repair my kitchen ceiling (it's a long story)!
DeleteI think I probably do have a mile long list but I'm not thinking about it....too daunting! Tomorrow's planned tasks include shortening a hem, sewing a button on a teddy bear's jumper and mending the inside of a pocket on my husband's jacket.
ReplyDeleteYes, too long lists can be rather daunting. But, I am giving myself permission to procrastinate on some of the items on the list! :D
DeleteI like you list of planned tasks for tomorrow. :)
This looks like it could be another expensive month. In order to accomplish 10 items off this list, you will have to attack some of those house maintenance tasks that have been on the list for a while. I also need to put some maintenance chores on my list for this month.
ReplyDeleteYes, I need to buckle down and get a few repairs done! I've been putting a few things off, too long!
