I've been quietly playing my board game here cando28 squares in all. Central 4 are potential projects on certain sites, with access from the corner squares. I haven't made my way around the board once as yet. Sometimes I need just give another task priority, Bin day is bin day no matter what square I am on. My marker is a peel off removable label / sticker with a sticker for a token. Its current square is my bedroom, so that is the site of my next task. I've also been playing the (toss) one a day thread, and have also been making a token effort at cleaning something, so I will head in there to get some direction. I suspect the needed thing will be to action laundry - both next load is due, and last lot of mine is still lingering not away, and then there is my bed would be nice in clean sheets. Maybe its dusting and keeping an eye out for a toss-able as well in there. I can see my token might lie on that space a while. Or I could get overwhelmed by it all... I just need to go to part acts and token effort. That seems to get more done than having the big expectations.

Hi wynken . I'm glad to read that you've been playing along, too. Sounds like you are doing lots & have lots more to do...much like me. I'm not sure I understand how you are playing, but it sounds like you've got a good game going. Keep it up! CD

cando I thought of having a board like monopoly - named spaces/ rooms or tasks around the edges. I was typing the list of them all and woops - they are gone. Inadvertedly -I had ruled 4 rectangles in the center - thought of them like community chest and chance - for projects. household, external/yard/car. Personal. recreation/ creation, Those are on removable stickers so I can list things there. Its all just on copy paper in a plastic sleeve.

Oh, wow, wynken ! That is a great idea. I picture a game board like that, but I just go around the board without things like Community Chest, etc. I just picture a small game board with each task I list as a chore. And, I roll the dice and move that number of spaces & do whatever I come to. You sound like a very creative person, wynken . I can picture what you are doing, now. Thanks for the explanation. CD

I'll just keep leapfrogging moving the earliest one, counting on from wherever the first one is at. The next round past Go - who knows how it will be called to play. #4 takes me there. I'll leave - sent to bins, others to EBrm and sheets - until those get done. Last week I tossed/donated something from each room. A worthy project if I can see what is easiest to let go in each. That will be enough for me today besides the regular tasks. Perchance all tokens can dash to go ready for another round. reminder - Thursday is dog to vet/groomer - pet square so will send a token there to remind me. today bedroom - bed - clear off - strip - remake - table
