Crossing off the To Do List

This morning I decided to be very industrious (for a change) and write a 'to do' list. Just so I could make sure at least some of the jobs got done.

And it did it's job very well.....

Here is bub's bunting all done and ready to be sent so that it can then be hung above his cot.



And the dishcloth is ready fto use.



I was having a discussion with my Mum about how much some people get done in one day. In particular after reading all the comments on Down to Earth blogpost about what people do during their days - you can read that post here. I really need to go back to my daily lists, when I use them I can get montains done which frees up time to do other things. So from today I am back to list writing!

Are you a list writer or do you just do what strikes your fancy or do you have a mental checklist?

  1. Hi there! I hear you with the list... I'm not a natural list writer but I really need to be writing to do lists and planning my days/weeks better - not just for my own sanity but as you said just to be getting more out of the day!
    Thanks for the reminder to get back into the habit of lists!

    1. I love them, I even use them at work to keep track. I am going to get a piping bag just to make your cupcakes.

  2. Absolute list writer. And I always try to achieve as many "little jobs" by 9am. I am amazed at what I can get done by this time. Love a good list.

    1. Absolutely. I used to use a "Fly Lady" list but I started becoming too militant with it!
