My new checklist

[Early Bird]

I have been feeling like there are too many jobs in a day. But when DH comes home, I have a hard time describing what I've got done. So, using 'Outline' on my word processor, I made a list of chores to get done today. (Ö is how my 'completed' checkmark translated to this page.) But this way, I can prioritize ... and I have a list of what I've actually accomplished!

Here's my list for today:

WTG Early Bird, you got a lot done today!

[canadian gardener]

You did!

And furthermore, that qualifies as a pretty heavy duty daily routine if you ask me.

[Katybird]

That is a great idea. It looks like you have had a busy day.

Well, I ran outta steam mid-afternoon, so there were a lot of things to carry over.

I really like the computer's ability to make an outline for me though.
