Tuesday Time to Tackle: Everything!


  original source


That pretty much sums up my to-do list for the day.  :-)  I spent the morning with a pad of post-it notes and a pile of paperwork.  Now that I have my to-do list more organized, I should be able to get my mind off of shuffle.  

How do you handle long to-do lists?

    I get overwhelmed with long lists, so I try hard to focus on three or four items.

    I prefer to ignore the long ones. :)

    Really, I have to organize the list into smaller ones.

    I use Google Tasks and I don't think I've ever had a day when I got to check everything off the list. Maybe someday!

    Divide a long list in 2 or 3 smaller ones or if that's too hard to do, just start on the top and work my way down. I love making lists and crossing off everything I already did. Sometimes I'm sneaky and put something on the list that's already done, just so I can cross something of at the beginning. Silly maybe, but it works for me....

    My lists are more timed goal, finish laundry and put clothes away by Thursday - plant flowers and clean yard by mother's day (does that make sense ) then broken done by categories, house, cleaning, shopping -
    Now hubby always has a to do list for his day off (makes one himself) - and usually it is left on the counter top, if I see it I always add to the list - hug wifey, when you are at the store buy something nice for wifey, tell wifey you love her - things like that LOL
    Good to hear you are not on shuffle - :)

Conversations are so much nicer when more than one person does the talking. :-) Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts; I'd love to hear from you!

Ten Things of Thankful: Live from Oregon, part 2

stock photo of old computer monitor When I was 10 or 11, I remember sitting next to my dad in our living room and reading computer code to him as he entered it into an Apple computer. We would finish the exercise and he would hit enter (or was it "run"?) and wait expectantly for the green type to appear on the screen. If we were lucky, the whole conversation would occur. Most often, there would be an error either in my dictation of the code, or in the typing of the code. We would then go painstakingly back through the lines, character by character, to find and correct the error. After what seemed like hours (and might have been), we would succeed and the computer would finally run the entire program. It was magical! My dad designed and built an earth-sheltered, passive solar home decades before solar panels were commonplace. He also was on a 9-month waiting list for a Prius, when hybrids were not seen on every street.  While my dad is definitely on the cutting edge of technol...

Ten Things of Thankful: Oregon Edition, Part 3

  A western bluebird, sitting at the base of a house window, looks inside Thanks (1) to those who have sent well-wishes for my mom's recovery. Her wrist is healing up nicely. I met a friend from high school for lunch this past week. It was so nice to have a chance to visit with her for a couple of hours. She is one of those friends who it doesn't matter how much time has passed, we can pick right back up into meaningful conversations. Lunch ended all too soon, but I'm so thankful (2) for her, and I'm thankful (3) that she reminded me of the importance of reaching out to others.  Being in my parents' home this week, visiting with a long-time (I'm not saying old!) friend, and with Mother's Day tomorrow, my mind naturally reflects upon the women in my life. I'm thankful (4) for an incredible mom--a gentle woman who taught and loved and guided us (and still does.) I'm thankful (5) for grandmas who were different in their personalities but united in their...

Monday Mentions: Equate Crutches

Have you ever needed crutches? I hadn't, until a week ago.  I'm pretty sure I strained a muscle while running a half-marathon.  (That sounds kind of cool, doesn't it? I'm not actually that cool; the last time I strained a muscle it was from carrying too many shopping bags at once.) In any case, I found myself in need of some crutches. I sent my husband to the store to get some. Photo: A pair of crutches leans against a wall  Not that crutches are all that complex, but because I hadn't used any before, I wondered if I could figure out how to adjust them to fit me properly. I shouldn't have worried. John came home from Walmart with their generic store brand of crutches, complete with instructions. First, I needed to take out a long bolt that went through the hand grip. Then I needed to find my height range, push down two metal pieces, and slide the crutches until the little metal pieces came up in the hole near my height range. (Having two people for this...
