Hiya,
I think this thread is a good idea. I've tried the Working in Threes thread and it always seems that most people who post there list way more than three things, which usually has me feeling like three isn't enough. So that one hasn't worked too well for me.
I've been working on my paper clutter since Labor Day and have made lots of progress. To remedy the tediousness of that project, I periodically have to shift my focus to other things needing attention. It seems like keeping one or two goals/tasks in front of me is working much better than the long lists I used to make.
For right now, I am going to:
have a cup of coffee and some oatmeal; and then
do my dishes which have piled up a bit over the last two days.

Welcome to the thread Outfromundah. I feel the same way you do... The idea behind this thread is to have at least one place where there are no visible long lists. A mental sanctuary of sorts.  Done: -chopped peppers -cleared counter in kitchen for work space Todo: -saute peppers -tend beans -recycle |

Y'all are doing great with the short lists. Hope you don't mind if I jump in, too. To do: 1) clear 1 kitchen sink (there's not much in there. but what's in there needs to be washed or rinsed & put in dishwasher).2) clear 2nd kitchen sink (this one is full, but everything has already been rinsed, at least. So, will either re-rinse things & put in dishwasher & hand-wash the things that require that).
3) Wash dishes from sink counter that is next to that 1st sink4) hang load of laundry to dry5) put another load in washerCD  |

Well, I did almost all on that last list
Went to sm. groc. store, so only was able to get 5 things on my list- but really, the rest can wait. Also, did not get to the get wedding gifts ready to send, but did do something else instead. Washed another sinkful of dishes.
I'm awake due to headache & DH arriving very late from work.
Next for me is to wake up early, even tho it's so late.
Get lunch together for work.
Dress2shoes & go to work.
After work, come home, eat, freshen up then a class
