Have you ever been around organized people? Do you notice that they all carry lists?
Lists are a great way to feel accomplishment throughout your day. It's also a great way to stay focused and stress free.
If you are a follower of Flylady you know that she helps keep you on track by the control journal. That works great when I am at home, but it's the daily tasks that I needed to sort out. It's the daily chaos that changes everyday.
I have found that when I sit in the morning and make a list I feel like I can handle the day. It also makes me feel really good when I can cross the items off. I feel like I am in control. It's amazing how a list can help you focus on the task at hand & not jump ahead.
Try making a list when you wake up in the morning. See how it can change your day.
I have found that a small bright notepad works great for me. I worked a special deal for notepads for us. If you are in need, check them out in the egg store. I will get them out to you right away.
Wishing you peaceful thoughts today,
Amy

You're right about the list making and I am a BIG list maker. However sometimes I overwhelm myself with my list. I will make the list and not take in to account what my schedule is for the day and how my day may affect the way I am feeling when I get home. Then I find myself getting all keyed up because I am exausted and I still have things to do on my list.
I am working on trying to be more realistic about how much I can get done in a day, breaking projects into smaller steps. Planning ahead and breaking down the project into small steps really helps to avoid some stress.
I still need to lighten up on myself if I don't get something done on the list that is not a priority. Just because its written down does not mean it's life or death if it doesn't get done. We'll maybe somethings but you know what I mean :-)
