boyswillbeboys, At first the dice game was difficult for me because I thought I had to come up with some perfect list of 6 or 12 things that could be done in random order, but then the concept of the board game came up, which took away one of those expectations. A couple of years ago I made up a bunch of master lists that I saved on my computer and would rotate through, and at first that worked well, but eventually it got old for me. I kept getting "bad rolls" things I didn't really want to do, and I added a rule that I could reroll once a day if I wanted to. I also added a few "free choice" options. It worked for a while, but eventually I got tired, bored, and frustrated with it. There have been a few days recently when I had large lists of to-dos and really didn't know where to start, so I came back. It's working well for me now, so I'm back for a few random days now and then. Today's list is basically the same as my list from Wednesday, but may be added to as I think of more things: 1. One module for school 2. Laundry 3. Dishes 4. Yard/garden work 5. Outdoor work, (Clean up yard, plant some plants) 6. Tidy downstairs bathroom 7. Tidy upstairs bathroom 8. Sort through papers 9. Graduation Luncheon reservations 10. One module for school 11. Work on powerpoint presentation 12. Prepare some food for next week's lunches (skipped) 13. One module for school 14. Prepare salad 15. Extra credit for school 16. Feed and water chickens 17. One module for school 18. Organize notebook 19. Prepare syrup for hummingbird feeder 20. Prepare recyclables for take-out 21. Pay bills/check account balances I will prepare and eat some breakfast, then get started. I prepared and ate my breakfast, loaded the dishwasher as the eggs were cooking. 1st roll: 4, I'm a little surprised by this... starting out doing some yardwork. I think I'll try to clear a place in the backyard where I'd like to plant some veggies. DH took a few trees down last fall and left limbs and debris scattered all over. Added a few more things to the dishwasher and then started it. Now I'm going to change my clothes and go out and clean up that yard. 2nd roll: 2 = 6 Tidy downstairs bathroom. I don't have to do this perfectly, something is better than nothing. I scrubbed the toilet, dealt with some more laundry, and took a break. 3rd roll: 1 = 7 upstairs bathroom Had a bite to eat, then heard one of the chickens being noisy. Went out to check, but while I was out did a few tasks out there. Came back in, worked on upstairs bath for a few minutes. 4th roll: 1 = 8 Papers. I am going to go through some papers and look for bills and the paper to register for the graduation brunch. 5th roll: 4 = 12 13 I may just skip #12 until later. I really want to work outside for a while and have other priorities. I will work on #13, then go out and do yard work. I completed a module then went out and mucked out the pond. 6th roll: 2 = 15 Extra credit assignment for school. I watched a documentary called "Lord of the Ants". I have to write an essay answering several questions about it. *Update! This is DONE!

I often get distracted from coming back and rerolling, those days I am happy with, because it often means I got a lot of important stuff done. When I do come back I get a lot done too, but either way I need to get myself moving to start with. Yesterday I went to pick up puppy shots, tomorrow, my mom and I will be giving them. Today I need to get some stuff done to prepare, you know, like clean my house 1. Dishes 2. Laundry 3. Living Room 4. Dining Room 5. Cat Box6. Knit 7. Bathroom 8. My Bedroom by bed 9.

Basically the same list as yesterday with just a couple of edits: 1. One module for school 2. Laundry 3. Dishes 4. Yard/garden work 5. Outdoor work, (Clean up yard, plant some plants) 6. Tidy downstairs bathroom 7. Tidy upstairs bathroom 8. Sort through papers 9. Graduation Luncheon reservations 10. One module for school 11. Work on powerpoint presentation for school 12. Prepare some food for next week's lunches (skipped) 13. One module for school 14. Prepare salad 15. Powerpoint presentation for school 16. Feed and water chickens 17. Work on angiosperm/gymnosperm assignment 18. Organize notebook 19. Pay bills/check account balances 20. Prepare recyclables for take-out Roll 1: 1 Complete a module for school. Done. I think the die at random.org is loaded... Roll 2: 1 = 2 Laundry. Started a load, folded and put some stuff away. Emptied the dishwasher. Roll 3: 2 = 4 Yard/garden work Roll 4: 3 = 7 Fill out form and then mail payment for graduation luncheon reservations I'm going to play for about one more hour then I will probably switch to the "must-do's" Oops! somehow I ended up on 9 instead of 7. I was scrolling up and down and I guess I was confused. After filing out most of the form and writing the check, I messaged DD about what time we should request. We ended up skyping and got way off topic, and never really resolved this. I might call my dad and see what her thinks since he will be coming along. Decided to work on my powerpoint, since I may need to present it as early as Wednesday.

It's a dice game kind of day! Each item gets 15 minutes max, so some items are repeated. -DONE- only means I did 15 minutes on that job, not that the whole job is done.
1. Wipe down stove. 2. Laundry step. 3. Organize sorted papers in living room. 4. Clear kitchen counters. 5. Laundry step. 6. Find tablet and charger and get it running again. 7. Put strings in string trimmer. 8. Clear kitchen table. 9. Laundry step. 10. Work on heap by living room lamp. 11. -DONE- Try to start truck. 12. Find ereader and charger, and charge it up. 13. Laundry step. 14. Clear kitchen counters. 15. Clear kitchen table. 16. Plug in power strip under bed. 17. Laundry step. 18. Clear path in living room. 19. -DONE- Clear kitchen table. 20. Living room hot spot! 21. Laundry step. 22. Birdie chores. 23. Sweep/mop kitchen floor. 24. Get clothes together for church tomorrow.
Roll 1 - 11- 11- Try to start truck. It is really, really, dead. Will need to borrow or buy a charger. Roll 2 - 4- 15- Clear kitchen table. Barely made a dent. Roll 3 - 9- 24- Get an outfit ready for church tomorrow. Normally, I don't worry about this until it is almost time to leave...which means that I end not looking my best some Sundays...

For those who have never played this game: Wish I could play today! Please read the first post in this thread to know how to play y'all! This is great for when you are having trouble getting started, don't know what to do first, so much to do that anything is better than nothing, & when you don't need to prioritize. Also, if u find it more entertaining to play a game & mix things up. Also, it is more fun if more people play at once.
Have fun y'all & Make it a nice day! Cd

I've been playing on paper the last few days, bouncing things that need to be redone to the bottom, and doing what I roll from the top six. Starting with copying where I left on Yesterday's list. I do not expect to get it all done, I will set a realistic time limit for each area, and move on when time is up. Progress, not perfection.
1. Dining room 2. Change Sheets - DS1 3. Laundry (Fallen behind, it is on more than once) 4. Spin 5. Basement 6. Carding Wool Chickens 7. Kitchen 8. Post items on storage wars 9. Laundry 10. Bedroom (by bed) 11. Knit 12. Cross Stitch (some relaxation time 30 mins) 13. Dye Rainbow wool 14. Bedroom (craft area) 15. Living room (computer area) 16. Read 30 mins 17. Living room 18. Cat box 19. Bathroom 20. Dishes 21. Porch 22. Change sheets (DD's room) 23. Spin 24. Laundry
1 - Dining room 1- Change DS1's sheets 2- Spin 20 minutes 2- Sweep the basement 1- Laundry
Now I have to get the Dog from the Vet, she got spayed today. Hopefully I'll be able to do more when I get back
