    Default September: Today's To-Do's

    Three things a day is all we ask.

    I was once told by a very wise friend that if he accomplished three things a day, he went to bed feeling like he had managed to be productive and that the day had not been frittered away.

    I have tried to live by this adage, and it does make me feel good when I can go to bed thinking that I ended the day with an accomplishment.

    So this is my challenge for September - three things a day. Post them; do them; let us know about it. That's it.

    My three things today (and I'm trying to not duplicate anything that I've already listed on the pyramid challenge):

    1) Pick up dry-cleaning
    2) Clean out bunny litter pan
    3) Change meeting date

    ~0/3 yesterday. URG! The dishes were so close(just the cookie sheets and canner left)but I got distracted by an ant problem. I felt sick before dinner so I didn't exercise. I could have listed the stuff to sell in the evening but DH wanted to order supplies for brewing and needed my help for that. Not enough time to even get three done. Ack.......
    I'm going to try, try again though. So I want to get those three done and today:
    1. Print baby journal pages
    2. Upload pictures and erase memory card
    3. Vacuum bedroom ~

    I've got a very long day on the road ahead of me, combining a work trip with picking up six dogs to bring back with me (rescued from a high-kill shelter by our local shelter up here), so I have to think of stuff I can do on the road!!

    1. Call my mother
    2. Shake out area rugs (can do it in the evening)
    3. Write out rough menu for next Friday's party and start grocery list
