I've always been one of those over the top organized people with an agenda, to do list and the like. I believe it was sometime in college that I stopped being so anal and ocd about cleanliness and my space. Not to say that I don't still arrange things so that they are, in my eyes, perfect. Let's just say I've gotten a lot better in the past few years. I do, however, continue to write out to do lists for the week and the day, and like my mother often feel daunted by my list and like a failure when at the end of the day, not everything has been crossed off. The solution has been found.
Obviously we should all be happy with what we are able to achieve everyday and not focus on those things we were not able to do that day or week. Focus on the positive, not the negative, the finished projects and not the ones that still need to be done.
Here are my thoughts.
3 Things TO DO Everyday
1. Something you absolutely have to do.
This could be an appointment, finishing a project for work, paying a bill. It is something that absolutely has to be done that day.
2. Something that makes your life easier, removes some stress or clutter from your life.
This could be cleaning out a kitchen drawer, mailing a package that has been sitting in your house, donating some old clothes, etc. It is something that will give you some more space and/or time in your life.
And 3 This one is my favorite
Do something nice for someone else.
This could be mailing a good friend a card, calling a friend or family member, buying someone a birthday or just thought of you gift. It is something that will make someone happy and feel appreciated.
Here's what I did yesterday
1. Doctor's appointment
2. Cleaned out a couple of boxes of my stuff that I moved home
3. Took Bella for a swim
Now you try. :0)
