    Default December: Today's To-Do's

    For those of you who are new to the thread, the goal is to come up with three things each day, and to do them. It is always nice to go to bed feeling that you accomplished SOMETHING, and this thread is here to help you do just that!!

    Why three? A good friend of mine once told me that he feels that is a good number to shoot for each day, to feel that his day wasn't frittered away with little insignificant time-wasting things. But if three doesn't work for you, and you think you can only commit to two, or even just one good thing a day, you are still welcome to join!
