A copy of Cando's instructions for the dice game: make the list Roll the dice 1-6, 2-12 or whatever you prefer www.random.org/dicedo the task OR Make it like you do on one of those games where you go around the board by rolling dice. I just make a list. Number it & roll the dice. Whatever it lands on... do that one first. But next roll of dice... start counting from the number of the one you last did. I hope that makes sense. This idea was taught to me by Wynken. This is a fun way to get started if you are new and for anyone else who is bored. Also, it is not for anyone who must get things done in a particular order. It is great for those who don't know where to begin or have so much to do that it really doesn't matter as long as something gets done. You can make list of baby steps... or however you want to do it. You can keep the game ongoing... plug stuff into the list as things get done or do those things on the list & mark them off & then start a new list or game. I hope that others will join me today. |

I'm in a funk today. need get my day going by hook or by crook. throwing a dice. using my existing mega list. Will list here dice rolls and what I actually do, whether I keep counting from the top 6, or so , or use the board game method. If a subsequent action comes first it will sweep other actions up with it. Need to add christmas cards to my list. done. also decorate - which will be get a token something out. not a mega transformation. added gift station to list too. so here goes.
consider me out of bed and meds taken. aiming for necessary stuff to happen here.
hopeing someone drops by but I need do this regardless. Now
#4= 4. dress, bed making = done .
#3 = 6. put on cereal / 7. breaky ... 6 being necessary for 7 to happen. also 2. filter water /. will 1. dog out as a timeslot thing while waiting.
