2010 Weekly Pyramid Challenge ~ Week 24

[nuisance26]

~Another week of attacking the ever so annoying to-do list!
I was actually successful doing the challenge "the right way" last week so I'm going to try that again.
I'll choose 12 small things to do today, 10 tomorrow, 8 the next, 6, 4, 2 and then 1 thing on Friday. As the amount of tasks lessens, the difficulty or tediousness of the task increases.
Who else is ready to start another week of procrastination busting?~

[nuisance26]

~Here's my list of 12 things for today:

1. quick trip to two stores
2. cut out second pair of baby booties
3. blog
4. box up one shelf of books
5. cut down front yard saplings
6. 30 minutes cleaning(kids' room, kitchen)
7. laundry 1, rugs
8. laundry 2, towels
9. harvest lettuce
10. order kids' beds
11. make banana bread
12. make brownies

These challenges have really helped me. The reason it took so long to do the kitchen is because it was REALLY a mess. But I love my new kitchen. I am very proud of the way it looks... now I plan to keep it that way by doing some work in there every day.

So.... this weeks list:

1. work in kitchen every day
2. clean hallway top to bottom - not really bad
3. clean bathroom - not too bad
4. DH is helping with the living room.

We need to have it done by Wednesday when our company arrives, and I think that because the kitchen is done, we can do the rest easily enough.
Thank you all for your support and these challenges. You have no idea what this site means to me.
