I'm back! 10-15 minutes in each area. There is at least an hour or two of work that needs to be done in each area. Here I go!
1. Kitchen 2. Laundry/Bathroom 3. Outdoor stuff, chickens, mail, garden, etc 4. Water houseplants/ re-pot some, organize on boot trays etc. (I place my plants clustered in boot trays to catch any over-watering accidents.) 5. Paperwork/pay bills work on insurance claims. DH made a mess of this, not using proper cards to pay for things, etc. 6. Dining area
1st roll: 6 Dining area. I got rid of a few cardboard boxes, and put some other things away. 2nd roll: 5 Paperwork. Did some paper sorting. Took a lunch break and a fun break, did some outdoor stuff.
3rd roll: 1 Kitchen. I might start a load of laundry while I'm at it.

I've never played the dice game, but I'm hoping it will work for my current mood.
1. Clear off living room table 3. Empty outside terra cotta pot and put away for the winter 4. Empty dish drainer 6. Sort laundry and start a load 8. Unpack all the boxes in the hallway 10. Clear off the kitchen table 11, Get rid of dead potted plant from front porch 12. Get rid of dead potted plant from back porch
Rolled a five--guest bedding Rolled a nine--water upstairs plants Rolled a six--Figure out if there's a way to overwinter my blackberry plant that's still in its pot Rolled an eight--Sort laundry and start a load
Completed: 5. Deal with guest bedding from Thanksgiving 2. Water upstairs plants and check the dead-looking ones for signs of life 9. Figure out if there's a way to overwinter my blackberry plant that's still in its pot

I'm making a short, simple list for today.
1. Kitchen 2. Laundry 3. Phone calls: Dentist, Census? Vitamins 4. Medical insurance paperwork 5. Water houseplants Yard work 6. Bathroom
(If/when I complete a task, with no more to do in that area I will substitute yard work. I have some things that need to be put in the ground and leaves to clean up. I also need to distribute my vitamins/supplements into the pill sorter thingies and prepare for my trip into NYC tomorrow.)
1st roll: 3 Eww. I was hoping that would come up later... Made the phone calls after doing the dishes and making some tea. 2nd roll: 5 Water houseplants 3rd roll: 3 Vitamins

I'm going to start a load of laundry and then start the dice-game. I'm going to aim for 10-15 minutes working in each area.
1. Kitchen 2. Laundry 3. Bathroom 4. Car 5. Entry 6. Bedroom
1st roll: 4 Car. I will bring in the bird seed and other stuff that is out there. (a few days worth of mail and some boxes.) 2nd roll: 6 Bedroom. I worked in DDs room. Cleared the junk off her bed and then made her bed. 3rd roll: 1 Kitchen, the kitchen could stand some work! 4th roll: 2 Laundry, I still need to put a back-log of stuff away 5th roll: 1 Kitchen. My plans are to check the chicken coop first, (food, water, eggs) and then tidy up the kitchen some more. I need to do some food prep, and my work surfaces are covered with clutter.

cando, One time I was playing the dice-game and kept rolling things I felt *Ugh* about. I ended up making a rule that I could skip a task once and re-roll. I just went out and did some yard work even though it wasn't on my list. We are having very warm weather here, and I had somethings that needed to be done. I'm back playing again.

Had to tidy up my desk so I could have space to roll a die.
1. Unload dishwasher/reload dishwasher
2. Wash load of dishes 3. Put away clean laundry/Gather stray laundry 4. Toys to boys' room 5. Trash off floor
6. Put away coats
Roll 1: 2 - Hand wash dishes - Unloaded and reloaded dishwasher instead because I didn't have space for dishwasher dishes.
Gave up on this for today. Not because I didn't want to do the work or couldn't, but because I wanted to do it in a specific order in case I couldn't finish today for whatever reason.

Had to tidy up my desk so I could have space to roll a die. I use the virtual die @ random.org, because I always lose mine in the clutter. Short simple list again. Will add items as tasks are completed. 10-15 minutes in each area. 1. Kitchen 2. Bathroom 3. Bedroom 4. Car Plant care 5. Hang baskets in Kitchen Sort papers 6. Laundry Other tasks: Houseplant care (water and clean up, remove dead leaves, re-pot etc.) Pay bills, sort papers, dining area entry way, so much more. I'm going to start out with moving the laundry to the dryer then: 1st roll: 2 Bathroom: Scrubbed 2 toilets and did a little tidying up 2nd roll: 4 Car: Brought in a couple day's worth of junk mail and some other junk that had been in my car 3rd roll: 1 Kitchen: Hah! I completed #5 while I was in the Kitchen! I also loaded the dishwasher 4th roll: 6 Laundry: Sorted sock stash for a while, tossed 27 socks! I need to toss a bunch more... later I'll do more sorting. 5th roll: 4 Plant care: I watered all of the houseplants. I do want to re-pot a few later. 6th roll: 1 Kitchen. It needs more work: counter tops cleared, floor cleaned. It's gross. ETA:Picked up, swept and mopped. 7th roll: 4 Plant care: I have a few plants that I want to pot-up into a larger sized pot. It would probably been better to do this before I watered them. I will do one or two. 8th roll: 6 Laundry. I'm going to work in the laundry room some more.
