One of the things I do last thing every night is The List. It's the list of all the things I have to do the following day, including some that probably won't get done, but if they make their way to the list they stand a chance of being sorted out within a week. There are three things to remember about the list -
1 put down some things that you want to do as well as the ones you have to,
2 put in some really obvious ones, things you do every day anyway and don't take long. You get a sense of achievement crossing them off, and
3 where you put it.
I may as well put 'find list' at the top of mine. I can sometimes find it first thing in the morning, but at some point it always escapes. I must have wasted years of my life looking for the list. At the moment the lists are invariably written on squares of yellow paper, so I can usually find yesterday's list or one from the middle of last week. At present I haven't a clue where today's is. It may have taken refuge behind a cupboard with a lot of other lists on yellow squares. 'Phone Mum and Dad' was on it, and a trip to IKEA, and the next stage of the new book, I've done those, and I meant to phone a lady from a bookshop, oops, forgot that. And I know 'blog' was on there. What shall I blog about?

Lol, I can relate to this post! When I make out a list, I purposefully put down "regular duties" so that I can feel good about marking them off. And then I always put the list somewhere and then can't ever find it again!
I haven't commented in a while, but I still read and love your blog posts:)
Speaking of list, I learned that even if I have a list in my head, that I should write a list when I go to the store to by food.
This week i'm making nachos. :)
Yum, choclate cake for dessart
Hi, Clara! Funnily enough, 'blog' wasn't on my list today but I managed to remember it. I like 'regular duties'. Perhaps I should head my list 'get out of bed'
Hi Sam, how did the nachos turn out? I've never made those.
The nachos were great.
