Today I'd like to do the following:
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Sand 2-3 door casing in our plight to remodel
-
-
-
-
-
-De-ice driveway
-
-
-And, my number one everyday: lots of playtime, reading time and snuggle time with the little guy
7 AM--get up, shower, get the little guy up, change diaper, brush teeth and get him breakfast
7:30 AM--Prepare client monthly statements while he eats, check emails, etc
8AM--Open up Meta and read a few chapters--thinking about overall plan and what direction it need to go, write 22 really lame words
8:15 AM--Time with the little guy, reading and playing
9:30 AM--Manage to jot down 500 words for Meta between during the little guy's trips to the toy box.
10 AM--Mid-morning snack and bundling the little guy up so we can head off to work.
12:30 PM--Back from work, threw in some laundry, bath for little one (cleaned part of bathroom during bath), lunch (got in another 250 words on Meta) and then lots of time playing with Megablocks.
2:45 PM--Naptime! Finished the last of the 1000 words for Meta. Read Gina's awesome and helpful comments for Protected. Came up with plan for Protected: going chapter by chapter and making serious cuts, hoping to cut 10-15k out of the first act. Critiqued 3 chapters for Erika (but still hope to do more tonight). Emailed Marie. Critiqued a little more, read a few chapters, emailed some clients, and then played a few quests in Skyrim since my brain is mushy.
5:45 PM--Finish cleaning bathroom and laundry while Riley grabs a snack. Call DH and find out he's not going to be home for at least another hour, so sneak some writing while Riley plays with the cat. Supposed to snow tonight, so de-icing the driveway is pointless. And with DH coming home late, won't have time to sand any casings. So I guess that's it! List done!
I found this obnoxiously useful. I might have to do this once a week.

Wow, this is way too organized for me. But really good ideas. Okay, you've talked me into it. I am going to go make a list.
Heidi! You've jumped on the live blog bandwagon! Welcome aboard :)
How fun. I'll have to try it some time.
Wow! You've got it down. If I even go near the computer while my son is awake, he wants to get on it to play his games. So my writing has to wait until he's napping.
I know I'd fail. Que Sera Sera is my mantra.
I completely understand where you are coming from with everything that has to be done in the day. You're doing a better job than I am at managing it. Happy writing.
I understand how this is goes! I just started my own schedule, getting back on track from way too much school work. I'm not quite nearly as organized as you are, but I'm trying really hard to be. Any tips? ;)
Jessie--Hope your list worked for you! I'll hop on over to your blog.
Gina--Thanks! It was way cooler than I thought it would be.
ladonna--You should try it! I was really reluctant, but it was extremely useful and I plan on doing it again.
Christine--I get the bulk of my writing done during naptime, but he doesn't ever want to use it the computer--I've made it the least fun toy in the house--no games!
Pauline--I don't stress out all that much if the list doesn't get completed. I judge by what I have achieved, so there isn't such thing as failing.
Dylan--Thanks for stopping by! Some days, I don't get anything done. But today, I just woke up ready to go.
Laney--I don't have many tips--just mostly being realistic with the list. And I always like to put something on there that I've already done, just so I can cross it off.
I love to do lists. Something about crossing them off makes everything right with the world. :)
I love to-do lists. I make one everyday even when I don't get anything done! But the days I get stuff done, I feel like I'm supergirl.
Adorable blog...love your header.
NEW FOLLOWER
