I have a very detailed planner into which I put all of my daily goals and things to do, and it usually works very well for this. But every once in a while, for some unfathomable reason, I fall deeply behind on all the things and need to write myself A List. A big list. Sometimes, as it is currently, the list is several pages long - but lest you think I'm important let me assure you it's mainly a giant brain dump where I just get everything out on paper that has been rattling around in there for weeks. The last Big List was before the baby was born, which is very typical for me - nothing makes me turn into a crazy list making woman more than imminent birth. This list, I have no idea, I guess I've simply been lazy for too long. Here we are, with three pages facing me down.
It helps to have a time limit set on The List - and I am challenging myself to finish it off before this coming Sunday - 5 days until the Sabbath and those 5 days will work me to the bone, I can assure you. Some of the tasks I might be able to pass off to others, but some - go through all of the boy's clothing to find gender neutral pants the girl can wear, plan out the gardens, make soup for an ill lady in our church, etc. - are only going to get done by me.
