96. Maintain a to-do list for two months.
I work so much better with a list in front of me, but I'm not sure how to qualify "maintaining" one. Ideally, I would have a fancy phone app that held all my to-do stuff, calendar and reminded me when things needed to happen, but my phone isn't cool enough for that. I'll get a new phone in February, though, and I'll definitely look into good organizational programs when I get one.
In the meantime I'm going to try to keep one on the sidebar here, because another thing that motivates me is knowing someone might be watching.
So the plan is to strike out anything I accomplish and then at the end of the week, wipe out all the strike outs and start a new list. I think I'm going to only put things on the list that I HAVE to get done that week or that I reasonably expect to do. Like, I need to clean my carpets, but that's not something I expect to be able to do next week. Still, I guess I should make a master list somewhere, so if I find myself with nothing to do I can have a reminder of other things that need to get done.
When I wipe the list I'm going to move the stuff I completed to another list so whenever I'm feeling like I never do anything productive I can look over it and see that it's not true.
Maybe I'll do that here.

Good job on the to-do list! On the iPod Touch I've downloaded an app called "Awesome Note" or something like that which is pretty neat. I don't use it nearly as much as I ought to, but I haven't written as many lists recently, either. Yay for organization!
ReplyDeleteAnd this reminds me, I really need to blog tonight. It should be easy because K has to work overnight, so I'll have a few hours after he leaves before I get tired probably and can work on that. And my index card catalog. hehe!
Having blue hair in Memphis was exactly what Kyle suggested, too and I think it's a perfect solution. Will you want to help me dye it or should I have Kyle help me before we leave?
