Just realized I messed up the year in the title. My apologies in advance for you all having to stare at that all week.

[dcompton]

LOL! I didn't even notice. Donna the Alert.

[AmyBoz]

Can we get a reminder of how this works, please?

[madhen]

Well, I'm actually thinking about making it a REAL pyramid this year. So, the goal would be to accomplish 43 little things per week: 1 thing the first day, 2 the next, 4 the next, then 6, then 8, then 10, then 12. (Last year, it was an inverted pyramid, because you started with 12 and dropped a few each day.)

The idea is to start with one pain-in-the-neck thing that you've been meaning to do, but never get around to doing, because it isn't important enough to set other things aside for, so you keep putting it off. The next day, do two things, then four, etc, until the seventh day, when you are up to twelve things, but they are little things like "clean the top on the salt shaker" and "water my peace lily."

Some people just make a randomly-numbered list daily; some list all 43 things and start striking it off as they get through it; some (well, me) stick to the original form and list the "correct" number each day.

[MaryinFL]

Its too early for me to think of 43 things, still having first cup of coffee So I will start with 12 and add more later.

1. Work on golf tournament sheets
2. Scrub kitchen counters

Today im gonna tackle 1 really big project at work so it wont be on the end, so my pyramid maybe a little wobbly LOL

[dcompton]

I've decided to try to do this weekly, but I am going to do Pyramid Lite - at least for now. Most weeks I will schedule nothing for Sat/Sun - these are extra long shifts at work and realistically I can get very little done. Today I'm off, of course, and do have a list. If I do anything for the weekends, it will be a random list. My real pyramid will be Mon-Fri with 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 or 30 things during the week. That will work best for me.

So my random list for today, mostly leftovers from yesterday:

1. Make list of all yarns used in projects
2. Organize yarns
3. Inventory project yarns
4. Wash dishes
5. Check Kindle freebie list
6. Declutter living room
7. Clean top of cabinet
8. Declutter bedroom
9. Make list of all started crochet projects in book
10. Put project inventory in crochet book
11. Put drinks in fridge
12. Fold, put away laundry
13. Take out stinky trash
14. End of month/year accounting
