great to see everyone here.
Diane - I sometimes alternate a dice thow or random number with a must do time sensitive "I choose next job" or a few if its thattime. Or if I get a number that assumes thats another task is done I do first things first - or the whole bundle if it suits me to do that.
atm - I need do MR (morningroutine) things so will just use it for that section of my list until I've done enough of those.
so far
I'm up
dogs been out
I sang mantra in the sun
tmeds
fish fed
update/scan
email check
looked at threads.
its time to move.
1. filter water is first undone on my list.
thats done - also dressed and bed made while waiting. tried on new dress - I think I need a black cami to wear with it as the sherring bodice annoys me. pulled a tread trying it with broach.
clipped 2 broken nails
*3 = prayers . choosing put on cereal to go with that.

I spent 20 minutes on dishes since there are so many.
Cando, for not feeling like working, you're getting a lot done! What's a telma cube?
Next roll: 6, Clutter

Hi Wynken!
Yes, that's a good idea--have a separate list of Must Do and alternate. Although, using the board game method you could make a list of Must Do items and if you work long enough, you would hit all of them eventually. I really like this thread, it's motivating.

Hi Wynken!   Diane - I love this thread, too! And, thank you! Wow! You did a lot that last time, including toilet cleaning! Spent 15 minutes in my bedroom closet. *49 hangers removed from the floor (will be taken to a cleaners) *31 plastic dry clean bags removed from the floor (these will be used to recycle shreds... have to be in clear bag. Idea given to me by the City Government when I called to see if they could be put in my recycle bin. I can put them in the bin full of shreds but not just the empty bags.  *14 papers put in recycle bag All of that mess was from DH's dry cleaning. He just gradually pulls them down & off the clothes as he uses the clothes. Telma Cubes -- Be sure to read the reviews. They come in Vegetable, Mushroom, Beef and Chicken flavors. Wonderful! www.amazon.com/Telma-Stock-Cubes-Vegetable-Seasoning/dp/B000H26JGKThey are in Kosher food areas at many grocery stores. Be sure to wait to add salt until you taste them. Even if you are using them for a soup base. Next roll: "3" = brings me to #24 Work in front bathroom. No! Don't wanna! Oh, okay...CD  |

Diane - I started out with a list of 53 - morning to night lights out. inc are every room. these
29. papers
30. declutter
31 sweep
32 mop
33 vac
34 table
35 counters
36. potplants
37. fishtank
pets duties listed as items.
then I added
prep for christmas .. inc ph calls - I still have some gifts need to get ... going north. sis picking hers up tomorrow so thats a must do today. so those items stay on the list for now.
also added jobs that are my responsibility for when builder is to do some repairs.
some tasks are doubled up. and now I have a list of 95. I'll never do 1/2 of them in any day - do some is by chance, and some I do cos the afternoon is going and pets need their jobs done. Dinner prep and dishes are non negotiable. No doubt list will get some changes. At 10am ... just working on the top bit.
oh yes - prayers I need say.. cereal was brought to boil and turned off to cook on the element heat/sit a while. Its timer is on.
prayers said - there was a dragonfly wing on the veranda where I went - beautiful . lacey with silver and golden sparkles.
next for me *6 = stretches. A week without yoga classes - I'll do some.
breaky is my choice.

I removed some clutter from my main desk, everything that's on there now are things I have to work on. In other words, there's still "clutter" on there but it's clutter that belongs there for now... I also put some reminders on my to do list software, and a bill pay reminder on my paper calendar.
I used to have all timed things--bill due dates, library book due dates, etc. on my old online software because I trusted it. When I started this new computer, I kept trying new programs because I couldn't find anything I liked, or the reminders didn't work the way I wanted them to, etc. So I started a paper calendar. Now I have software that I like but I'm not ready to completely trust it yet, maybe I'll go back to having those reminders on line.
I still have my dog walk/pet care appointments on a paper planner on my desk though, I don't think I'll ever change that!
Cando, those cubes look good, but--the price! I would like to use boullion cubes but can't believe the amount of sodium they have! I can find find low-sodium meat flavors at my store, but not low-sodium vegetarian. There was another brand that popped up when I checked out your link, called "Rapunzel" that had a vegan no-salt added. Now if I could just find those in a store somewhere so I didn't have to pay shipping, I would try them!
I can put them in the bin full of shreds but not just the empty bags.
Another example of government logic!
Next roll: 9, Wash Dishes--perfect timing, there's another load of them that has been soaking.

I used that last kitchen time to straighten out the rest of my fridge, and to put away dishes that have dried. I also washed and rinsed one more pan of dishes. There is another soaking, and after that there will be only one more panful to go.  I am going to stop now to eat dinner and read--my intention is to come back, unless I fall asleep or something......I would really like to at least finish the dishes if nothing more tonight. Diane |
