Challenge Task #2

Maggie — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 09:53:00 -0700

So I’ve done my morning routine and am now ready to start thinking about day #2’s planning task. Crystal wants us to make a to do list of no more than 10 items and work 10 minutes in our living rooms. So here’s my list:

~~Finish the girls’ laundry, including diapers~~
~~Order more cloth diapers~~ This took a long time, it took me a while to find a supplier that had all the diapers I wanted in stock, oh well it’s done, and in a week or so we’ll be able to use cloth diapers all the time.
Clean entry way (yesterday’s challenge)
Clean living room (today’s challenge)
Nap when/if both girls are sleeping at same time, at least rest when Hannah naps
~~Work in pantry/fridge~~
Plan meals
Grocery
Take girls outside
Make list for thank yous, write them
~~Drink lots of water (I haven’t been doing great at this and know it effects my energy levels)~~ I didn’t start out well with this, but did do better in the afternoon

I’ll be crossing the items off as I do them, so check back to see how far I get, I’m not counting on getting to all of it, but if I have the time and energy, I’ll need a plan.

Steph-it made me tired too and I didn't even get 1/2 of it done! Resting was much higher priority today, John should come home to a wife who can be awake for more than 20 minutes when he comes home, as well as a haven...even if that means the haven is a little messy. :) April-I think that's the key to lists, it helps you get more done than you would've even if you only get a couple of things on the list done.

I like making lists too. I think they help me get more done than if I hadn't made the list. I also love the sense of accomplishment as I mark things off my list-I see how much I get done when I do this. Thanks for sharing.

Your list made me tired just looking at it ;-) Make sure you're resting too. You've got a brand new baby, plus another little one. (I say these things cause I love ya!) Usually all I can think about at your stage is SLEEP!
