I have 30 things on my list, and I never expect to get them all done, I just jot down the things that I think of that need to be done. I'll only type out the first 20, as my biggest die is a D-20 I already did one thing off my list, Washing wool that I will leave white.
1. Laundry 2. Desk 3. Stove 4. Yarn Listings 5. Fibre listings 6. Bag Listings 7. FB posts (schedule 3) 8. Spin - Black 9. Knit 10. Book Shelves 11. Harry Potter Cupboard (it's become a bit of a catch all) 12. Clean Studio 13. Attempt to figure out motorizing the carder 14. Card Wool 15. Wash + Dye - New Blue 16. Dye Yarn 17. Dye Top 18. Closet Shelf 19. End Tables 20. Read - Non Fiction
I'm picking a die out of the bag at random, I have over a full set of dice, I plan to grab one at random and roll to pick something. I figure the lower numbers are more important, because I thought of them first.
5 - Put together/edit some Fibre listings for my shop - Did 3 2- Desk - My desk is in perpetual need of organizing and decluttering - 10 minutes another 2 - Stove 5- Spin

I decided to revive the Dice Game today! Here I am! My goal is to work in each area for 10-15 minutes at a time, then come back and re-roll. Online Dice Roller is here: www.random.org/dice/1. Sort ginormous pile in laundry room. 2. Clean 1 shelf in fridge. 3. Dining area 4. Water house plants. When this is done, outdoor gardening task. 5. Computer area 6. Kitchen counter-top 1st roll: 2 Update: After that first roll, went into the kitchen loaded a few dishes into the almost-full dishwasher and started a load. Scrubbed the sink Cleared off everything off the top shelf in the fridge, scrubbed it well. Some items were discarded, some became chicken treats. 2nd roll: 3 3rd roll: 5

creativechaos, I fizzled out after lunch. I hope you did better than I did! I used to put some fun things in my list, maybe I should do that again. ta-da's: Spent a few minutes picking up and throwing things out in the dining area Spent several minutes shredding paper. I put my shredded paper in the chicken coop, and then it goes into my compost bin after it is soiled. Went back to my room and worked on my school work for a while, submitted 3 assignments online, and looked at the topic of the next essay. While I was doing that I received an email from my sister. For the past 5 years we have been discussing the possibility of going to Sweden the next summer. This trip will be open to other relatives as well. We want to visit places where our ancestors lived. Well we have selected the dates, so now we will start planning the itinerary, looking at the prices of tickets, hotels... to-do: I'm going out for a walk now. Empty the dishwasher Print out some pages for my homework Hopefully I'll be back for more tomorrow. Oops, this was supposed to be in WIT. I'll post there too.

ha Ally - i did not do better. i lost my mojo when i walked to town for some errands and that took over 2 hrs. i ate and now i want to take a nap! not sure if i should though. i slept something like 9.5 hrs last night; i think it's stress and resistance. great job on the school work and shredding. and how exciting it is that you will be going to Sweden! enjoy the trip planning and anticipation as it gets closer.

I think I'll play game-board style today. goal is 15 minutes per area, but if I am resistant, I just need to start, and go for a few minutes. Yesterday the decision fatigue was crippling.
1. Sort ginormous pile in laundry room. 2. Clean 1 shelf in fridge. 3. Dining area 4. Water house plants. When this is done, outdoor gardening task. 5. Computer area 6. Kitchen counter-top 7. Repair damaged insulated bag. Work on quilt for 30 minutes. 8. Clean off my bed. I sleep on one half, the other half had piles of random stuff, books, a bag of mismatched socks...
1st roll: 6. 2nd roll: 6. =4

Ooh, I haven't done dice game in awhile, and I've got quite a few stand-alone tasks that need doing. Perfect timing! 1. Start laundry x2 (alt: drink water) 2. Handwash dishes 3. Sweep kitchen4. Any category off bedroom floor x2? 5. Sort through one drawer x3 6. Put away white basket7. Any category off living room floor x3? 8. Sweep downstairs hallway9. One task in boys' bathroom x5 10. Tidy deskI'm pretty sure that I won't be getting all this done, but what I don't I can do another day. Roll 1 - 10: Tidy desk Roll 2 - 9: Clean mirror & sink in boys' bathroom Roll 3 - 1: Start laundry Roll 4 - 3: Sweep (and tidy) kitchen Roll 5 - 1: Drink 16 oz water Roll 6 - 8: Sweep hallway Roll 7 - 6: Put away white basket Roll 8 - 1: Flip laundry _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Restructuring list to look prettier 1. Handwash dishes2. Clothes off bedroom floor3. Sort through 1 drawer4. 15 minutes on living room floor5. Tidy boys' bathroom floor 6. Empty boys' bathroom trashRoll 1 - 4: 15 minutes on the living room floor was swapped out for dishes because it turns out someone had already tidied it and because I was running low on time. Roll 2 - 3: Actually ended up sorting through 2 drawers because they were easier than I anticipated. Roll 3 - 5: Kids' bathroom floor Roll 4 - Even: Bathroom trash (I don't wanna.)
