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 - :)

Ten Things of Thankful: 39 Years Edition

A political map of the world circa 1987. The Soviet Union takes up a sizable portion. A lot has happened in the last 39 years. The Berlin Wall came down. The Soviet Union collapsed. The Twin Towers fell. Technology has changed: landlines and phone booths are practically extinct, and random questions can be answered in seconds by asking Google, Siri, or Alexa. No longer do drivers keep the Thomas Guide in their cars; navigation systems will give turn-by-turn directions, and recalculate when the driver doesn't follow the directions. Some cars don't even need drivers. While many shoppers do their shopping in-person, some simply log into Amazon and have their item show up on their doorstep--sometimes within hours.  I've seen pieces of the Berlin Wall. I've traveled to places that used to be behind the Iron Curtain. I've been to Ground Zero. I no longer have a house phone, and have looked up the answers to countless questions using my cell phone. I do not miss the stress...

Ten Things of Thankful: April Showers Edition

  A red peony bud prepares to open fully  After an incredibly dry winter, we had a bit of precipitation this past week, in the form of falling snow. We didn't have much, and it didn't really stick, but we'll take water however it wants to come. Fortunately, my peonies seem unaffected by the cold snap, and are ready to put on a show here soon. 1. I'm thankful for moisture. 2. I'm thankful the flowers are still going to bloom. I don't know how the colder temperatures will affect the fruit crops. The strawberries look like they are still planning to set fruit. We'll have to see what happens with the peach, apricot, pear, and apple. (The apricot only bears heavily every other year anyway, and I think this is an "off" year--though I could be wrong.) Strawberry plants in full bloom 3. I'm thankful for anticipated berries.  We continue to clear out and otherwise prepare John's parents' house for sale. I've been going through old photos and...

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...
