Trying Something Different

[miss_lucy21]

Instead of making a to-do list for things I want to take care of this week, I decided to try to write a list of what I want things to look like a week from now, 7:30 Sunday night, April 24th, before I go back to work on April 25th.  

I want-

• laundry to be done
• Coffee table cleared off
• Living room picked up
• Shelves and tupperware taken care of
• Kitchen counters cleaned
• Sink cleaned
• Stove cleaned
• Trash taken out
• Table cleared off
• A to be done box
• A papers to keep box
• returns taken care of
• Bedroom cleaned up
• Bathrooms cleaned
• Small room at least partly cleaned
• Car cleaned out and organized
• All the floors vacuumed or mopped
• Everything dusted
• Library books back to the library
• Workouts
• Massage
• Art time
•  

• Sleep and rest

•  

Most of these things are 10-30 minute tasks. Maybe 45-60 minutes for a couple. I think the plan right now is to sleep as much as I need to tomorrow, do one or two of the easy things when I am up, but mostly rest. Tuesday, I think I'll start tackling some of the harder things, but I'm not working for more than 30 minutes at a time, and probably more like 15, and then resting at least as much time as I worked, if not twice as much. Then keep that pattern up until Saturday or I'm finished, whichever happens first, and rest again Saturday and Sunday. That sounds reasonable. And probably do-able.
