I cannot live without lists. Currently, I have 2 on paper next to me, 3+ on Excel on the computer, a weekly calendar with lists in it for each week and more lists for extra things, and probably a dozen lists in my head of things I want to get done! Oh, I just saw one more list (not mine!) here on the computer...
Since getting a smartphone, I have spread my listing love there. Cozi is where I have tons of lists- groceries, to do, calendar, and still soon-to-be meal plans. I am surrounded by reminders of what I need/want to accomplish. But I guess that's just how I motivate myself! So I've tried to get and keep our house organized (hard to do with 3 males in the house) and so I like to see just my lists telling me what is next to do! And crossing off things is even better!
It's really funny- Dave's had a lot of extra vacation time he needs to use up before the end of the year, and today is his only day at work this week. So this morning I had 3 (not so "easy") things crossed off before 9 am. I couldn't believe it... how productive I was just because I wasn't trying to get him out of bed or doing extra things he wanted help with. I don't just sit around, whether he's here or not... I just get my things done without too much interruption.
And getting to plan for a trip adds to the fury of list-making! Especially when the boys will be here in care of their grandmother! So this week has been double duty, since I don't want to wait until I get back to do what needs done next week! Today I've been planning out the next few days of what I need to do on which days. I'll probably be panicking by Monday to get it all done, but what's a trip if you don't have the last minute rush? :-)
And is there anyone else who cleans their house before they leave?
