Despite the pandemic, a puddle of water on the floor next to the wood burning stove, the barn door that mysteriously opened and the fact that I need help to close it, despite the long to do list, Christmas is here.
Feeling a little down yesterday by the immense number of to do's posted on my refrigerator, late into the evening I cut up all the small tasks into small individual pull notes and tapped them to a sheet of paper so every time I complete a task, the small paper can be pulled from the backing paper or new asks can be easily added. One 8 1/2" X 11" paper currently has 18 tasks. Small tasks include replacing burnt out light bulbs, donating books to the library, ordering a remote for a slide projector, and any task that can be done just once - not the usual every day vacuuming and dishwashing. Another sheet has jobs like contracting a roofer for the shop or planning a budget. Yet another sheet has jobs I am delegating to friends and family.
After making half a dozen calls today setting into action numerous future needs and appointments, I had completed succssfully my list for today. My sense of being on top of my affairs is restored. I am looking forward to painting again soon.
