Too much for one night?

[lisagiggles10]

This will NOT be a 100 list, because otherwise I'd be up all night ... but because I like lists so much, and checking them off sadly gives me tiny bursts of satisfaction that make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, I'm going to make myself of things to get done tonight. Ready????? GO!

1. Pick up Zoey's mess in the living room
2. Put together my new vaccuum

I tend to make the mistake of only including the really big things on to-do lists and then get all frustrated when nothing gets stroked off and it looks like I am never making progress. I should have one for this year and one for this week or month really, nice post, you have helped me out thanks. Did you ever pass out from exhaustion??!

Soooo who are you?

[scottisnothere]

Me? oh I just surfed by randomly, found your post, liked it and thought I would make a comment. Not very polite of me was it? Scott, Gloucster UK, how you doing?

Huh. Can't say I've ever gone livejournal surfing. I'm Lisa, Iowa City, Iowa, US. Nice to meet you :-p

The trick to a good list is, make sure you add a few fun things you want to do, a few things you're probably going to do anyways, and one or two things you've already done to get the crossing off started! Even when you're doing the fun things, or the things you were probably already going to do, it makes you feel like you're getting your list accomplished since you're crossing them off, and keeps you motivated to do the other things on your list as well! At least that's how I go about it :-p
