I'd got into the habit of using scraps of paper and was in danger of missing something crucial. Never forget, though, that the best laid plans of mice and men are filed away somewhere.

Then if things get a bit more urgent I stick a Post-It note with the urgent stuff on top. Then in the kitchen there's another list or two... I've happily just crossed two things off the Post-It note though. I'm wondering if I should be a bit more streamlined.

I also lose focus when I don't plan and just drift from one thing to another, not accomplishing much at all.

Every so often those tasks eg clean windows get put to the top of the list otherwise they don't get done. However if the sun shined, the list is abandoned!Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928188713843255078noreply@blogger.com
