Looking at my current schedule, you would probably think to yourself, “where does she find the time!?” I’ve always been the type of person that LOVES having plans, and things to do. But sometimes, or rather all the time now, I find that I’ve got so much going on that if I don’t have it all written down it gets forgotten. And then I find myself in that, “OH CRAP!” situation and I’m scrambling to get something done.
In an effort to get myself organized, I’ve created these “to-do” lists:
It’s JMU’s Homecoming Weekend, so I felt compelled to use purple and gold :)
Here’s how it works: The Long list is used to write down anything and everything I want to get accomplished up to a year away, this includes lofty ideas like finally getting around to sewing a quilt (never gonna happen). From the Long List, I pick out items that need immediate attention (like all the wedding goodies I need to finish up for Danielle’s wedding next weekend) and assign days for me to work on them. I also like to pick out one lofty idea to add to the short list each week. Here’s what’s on this weeks Short and Long lists:
