Lists

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense".

Ralph Waldo Emerson –

First things first. It is freakin hot here! Check out my weather pixie if you don’t believe me… I think she’s sweating.

The quote above really rings true for me today, at least in the sense that you need to start a new day fresh. I have these wonderful lists that I make almost everyday, even though only a few items may actually be completed. Here is a peak into my world of list making:

July 18, 2006
Pick up pants
Give blood
Purge old files
401K
Money
Handwash clothes
Water plants
Fishtank

Ok, so some may not make much sense to you, but that’s not the point, is it? I make these lists and typically certain items will roll from day to day until I finally get them done. For this particular day those items would be: purge old files, 401K, and fishtank. I also realized that I needed a master list of items that needed to be accomplished because otherwise my lists would exceed the space that is allocated in my planner. Oh, the things that I do to myself in the name of organization.

Other things that are on my master list include: organizing craft closet, order nose rings, wash windows, design closet for guest room 2. They are on the other list cause I just don’t feel like doing them right now. Maybe later? They will end up on a daily list eventually.
