After my thoughts on time and the lack thereof that I seem to struggle with....I received a comment from someone, Thanks to you, that the only way they get anything done is to make a To Do List.

I have one from time to time too, but it never seems to be consistent. I always have too much to do. If I made a list today, it would look something like this....

  1. Make Coffee and pray it wakes me up
  2. Make another cup because I'm not functioning
  3. Check email on multiple accounts
  4. Read blog posts and write another
  5. Stop blogging on AR and get to work
  6. Assess the LAUNDRY situation and get that going
  7. Make breakfast for my daughter / boyfriend / boyfriend's mom
  8. Take shower
  9. Get dressed
  10. Make bed and do dishes
  11. Feed dogs
  12. Water flowers
  13. Clean out car
  14. Load computer, active files, etc myself and daughter in car to first appointment at 11
  15. Show my listing at 1209 NW 41st
  16. Check out house down the street that's going on the auction block on Sunday
  17. Stop and get lunch before next appointment
  18. Pick up shoes from Shoe Repair Store
  19. Go to Open House at my next listing 2717 Amesbury Lake Drive in Edmond
  20. Weed the flower bed while we wait for buyers
  21. Go home
  22. Cook Dinner
  23. Another load of laundry
  24. Check mail and reply
  25. Check AR and write a blog post
  26. Go to bed so I can get up early to replay to do list

So, as you can see, it gets hysterical if I write it all down.

In my opinion, it's better to have a to do list that looks like this:

  1. Stay Positive at all costs
  2. Re-read Number 1

Stay Tuned and Let's Network!

Sarah - what a list.  Think we've all got something similar.  I write list after list, then have to compile them all, and end up with notes everywhere!  But it's the only thing that keeps me from dropping the ball...

I love that you weed flower beds while doing open houses!  Have you tried blogging while at one too?  The more multitasking the better!

That looks like my to do list! I have a flowing list. Every night, I start a new one for the next day, adding the things I didn't get accomplished from the last list onto the new one. I don't think I'll ever get caught up! It just gets longer and longer!

Sarah,

Myvote is for list number two. I would also vote that the Boyfriend fixes Breakfast for Boyfriends Mom. I would definetely forward all email accounts to one email source as I currently do. No need to spend time opening several email sites to check on them. I also have it run through my primary email accounts spam blocker. Boyfriend or boyfriends mom can also do the laundry it takes only a minute to do. Making meals also can be a shared expierience. Even if the other parties only do it once or twice a week it will free up time for you.

I might suggest that you stop believing that all the items on the list are your responsibility and that only you can do them.

Have a wonderful week in OK

I like the stay positive part. In fact, it would probably be a good idea to set little reminders in your calendar to go off throughout the day!

Sarah, You might want to try a "to done" list at the end of the day. More productive and definitely more rewarding!
