A year or two ago, someone had a thread like this and I found that if I publicly posted the list of things I intended to get done during the day, I often got MUCH more done than when the list was just in my head or stuck to the fridge door.
Well, right now I need to get a whoooole lotta stuff done, because I have half kicked my husband out (he will be here only on weekends, plus Tuesday nights b/c I'll be darned if I'm going to quit my dog agility classes -- the only reason we are not TOTALLY separating at this point is b/c of the kids) so I have all the usual things to do, plus mowing 3/4 acre of rapidly-growing lawn (the one thing around here that he normally does), plus unless something pretty significant changes over the next few months (and honestly I don't think that's at all likely) I need to be getting this rather run-down house/property ready to put on the market.
Sooooo...
aside from normal activities, today I swear I am going to
1) mow the back yard
2) re-rig the sheep electric fence where it goes over the gate to the kids' climbing tree, so I can tap the lawn electronet into *that* instead of using the elderly-weebly solar charger
3) clean the rest of the misc stuff off the front deck
4) build a support for a tire jump (made of pool noodle
) for the dog
5) clear old plant debris from former pathway under big pine tree, so that soon I can do some turf transplanting and new garden bed creation (so things look better and so the basement is less apt to leak)
I think I'll leave the list at that and see what happens
Go ahead and post YOUR to-do list here too, if you want... I sure did find it helpful last time 'round, anyhow.
Off to take my 4 yr old to Early Years and afterwards run errands.
(e.t.a -- as of 3 pm, #3, 4 and 5 are done; am about to head out now with the kids and dog, to mow. Leaving mowing til the hottest part of the day may not have been the most shrewd decision)
(e.t.a.a. -- as of 5 p.m., the mowing is done too; but I think I'll leave rewiring the sheep electric fence across the gate until tomorrow, as it's starting to get mosquitoey. Yes, I am a wuss)
