My To Do List

United States
June 5, 2018 10:42am CST
I made a "to do" list for today and so far haven't gotten much more done than making the list. Maybe I'm being too optimistic by adding more and more things to my list. I'm really hoping my "to do" list doesn't become a "didn't do" list. Generally I'm a person who has a routine but lately I've been willy nilly about getting stuff done. By the time it's the later part of the evening I'm disappointed at how much time I wasted during the day and on some days how little I've accomplished. I don't have a ton of things on my list for today but it's just a way for me to be accountable to myself. It's a fairly nice day here today. The sun is shining and it's not too hot and there's enough of a pleasant breeze to have the windows open. The forecast says a possibility of thunderstorms but right now the sky is bright blue so who knows. My good news for today is that I downloaded the new book I wanted. It's called the President is Missing by James Patterson & Bill Clinton. Can't wait to read it. Now I'm off to see what's happening here in the myLot world. Hope everyone is having a great day

Instead of making a to-do list, how about making a list of the things you did during the day. You might be surprised at all you actually did when you thought you were wasting time.

Yup...Good old Billy Boy has co-written a book with Patterson. Looks like a good read and I'm excited to start it

So far so good...I saw Clinton and Patterson on TV talking about the book. I usually keep my to do list in my head..but I could do more than I do for sure.

I've had that book in my Amazon cart for awhile waiting for the release date. Them I saw them on tv and remembered . I am trying to get myself motivated and move more throughout the day but I don't know if making a list will work

I hope that you get a lot done on that list today, the week is almost half over. I had an impromptu job interview this morning. And it was very exciting, I hope that I make it to the second round.

@marlina I've been at this job since just after Thanksgiving. But we have a new location which they moved me to, which is quite a long drive across town. So I'm looking for something closer.

We finally had a dry day and I did something that is on my "to do list" from several days, I mowed the lawn, trimmed the bushes and cleaned the pathway. I am tired.

Doing all that hard work sounds tiring but bet you feel good having some nice weather and being outside

The only thing on my to do list for today was to walk and do laundry. Done! I'm going to get that book for my husband.

@Marilynda1225 I wound up having to go out, but squeezed in an hour of reading while my hubby made dinner. I wish I had the time to read from morning until bedtime.

I love James Patterson. That boo should be a real page turner. I used to make to do lists all the time to keep me straight. Nowdays it doesn't do me any good to make one, I don't seem to be able to follow them anymore.

@Marilynda1225 I understand. I like to have a schedule to follow then I feel I am doing something for me. I have read books by James Patterson. I have read a lot of other authors I never heard of so cannot tell you the books I read by him. Now, I am not feeling well so want to wait to go to the doctor soon hopefully to see what we can do for me. Wait did he write the book with Bill Clinton?

That's what our teacher taught us. To be accountable all the time.

I have done a number of things on my to do list today therefore I feel happy with myself. I cleaned and made tidy my kitchen. I hooved both of my children's bedrooms and I made my daughter's room tidy. I washed clothing and my daughters bedding. I swept the lounge and then ran out of time. We are getting our home ready for re-decorating next week.

We had the same kind of weather today. Though it's gotten a bit colder and cloudier, in the last two hours. Hope you can get those things done today. Goodluck.
