Since we're discussing such mundane things like cleaning your house and cars, here's another question for you - how do you remember all the shit you've got to do every day?
Or is it just me that has way too much going on in her life? (doubt it)
I have a planner. Haven't graduated to electronics for that purpose - or rather, I have, but it didn't work as well as the old-fashioned weekly planner book. That's only for appointments, kids' events & sports practices, etc. The running to-do list is different.
I usually write everything down in a spiral notebook, re-doing a new page every day. And it's FULL. I swear, I torture myself with this list, putting down things I can never accomplish in a week, much less a day. But if I don't, I am afraid I will forget them.
I list everything, from reminders to do laundry and scoop the litter box to deposit checks and paint my bedroom. At least I can cross off a few things each day, though there are things that I just write down every day, like wishful thinking.
I have categories: Home, Errands, Phone calls, Business, School, and Kids. Sometimes I add Grocery List and Do This Someday.
I can barely fit it all on a standard notebook size page.
Today I managed to cross off four things.
Go, me.
