101 Things to do for whenever, whatever

Dec 31, 2007 10:25

I've been seeing people's lists of things; lists of lists, lists of resolutions, bucket lists (like from the movie), etc. I've realized I need a couple of lists. I need several for several reasons.

Firstly, there must be a list of things needing done. I tend to load up on activites and forget to do things. Seeing it in paper would help remind me . . . as long as I don't self-judge.

Secondly, there must be a list of things wanting done. This is really more things I want to do. This stuff tends to be creative endeavors.

Thirdly, there is the list of things I'd like to do (aka the "Bucket" list). This wouldn't really be long as I tend to do what I want. Mostly, this would be travel as there are places I want to go but haven't been to yet.

Fourthly, is the list of things I promise to do for other people. I don't mind helping out and I enjoy it immensely, but I have trouble saying 'no'. Also, sometimes I offer before being asked which means that I do this to myself!!! Cripes! I cannot blame others for complicating my time when it is me that is doing the complicating.

Lastly, and I suppose this should be first, is that I need a list of lists - seeing as I have already identified several and all of this is with an aim toward living more simply. Go figure.

Maybe it just needs to be one big list. That would be easier to manage, for sure. It is obvious, gentle reader, that organization is not one of my strong suites. Hmmm...might be time to organize the lists.

Bright blessings for the new calendar year!

new year, lists, organization
