Every day I write out a list of things I need to do. It has things that are scheduled as well as the tasks I need to do.
Today was a complete to-do list fail. My lists are usually longer than practical, but while I don’t get everything done I always cross some things off (I usually have them prioritised so the important things get done). But not today. Today I didn’t cross a single thing off my list.
It’s a bit of a reflection of how my day went I guess. But nothing?! Crossing things off the list is satisfying, like a little reward.
I did work on three things on my list, but none of them were completed (not even close I hate to admit). At least tomorrow is a new day!
Do you have daily to-do lists?

I do not make lists as they only seem to highlight my failure to follow through. Even when I do make lists of groceries to buy, or chores for hubby to do, they seem to always disappear. Congratulations for what you did accomplish!

Thanks, Maggie. I need my lists because they are essentially my brain – without them I would forget everything!

Oooo no! I get so disappointed when I don’t finish my lists lol but I constantly have lists on the go. Mostly for things I have to do for work. And every day I now have a list for the students in their agendas. Trying to get into the habit of submitting things online on time.

I have lots of lists too! Work lists, house chore lists, daily lists… but I wouldn’t remember half the things if I didn’t. Maybe when I’m not remembering everything for 4 people and only having to remember things for 2 people my brain will do better without a list, lol.

I used to make lists when I was working, but these days only in my head. And FWIW, I rarely get through them! That’s life, eh?

Life gets in the way more often than not. At least with a list in your head you can adjust so it looks amazing at the end of the day 😉

Sometimes you get a lot done, other days nothing…

Sadly the nothing has been a little too common of late, lol.

I’m very sorry, but it happens, 2021 has so much hope attached, especially for Americans like me, butMama said there’s be days like this

Oh, great song! Why didn’t I think of it when I was posting? In Oz it is already 6pm on the 20th and the day was just like another. Here’s hoping the same goes for you guys!

😂😂 oh the tasks of being a wife and mother!

Details, please. What exactly did you do all day rather than your TODO list? Hmm??

Oh, I wish I knew, Jacqui *hanging head*. It just seemed to be one of those days where I was busy but nothing got done (it was a day where I was waiting for 2 tradies – you know, we’ll be there between 9am and 5pm…).
