rolanniAnd not just any Friday, but the Friday before "fall break"! Which means I had my choice of prime parking places this morning.
Saw one of the maintenance folks on my way up to the office. "Looking forward to your vacation?" they asked.
And we both laughed.
It's a bright and shiny day here in the neighborhood. I've got some errands to run around campus a little later, which will be pleasant. My desk is clear for the moment, though I expect to be doing some data entry a little later, when the mail hits. Otherwise, it looks to be a quiet day.
Which is fine.
I made my various to-do lists* yesterday and own myself a little intimated by the sheer mass of stuff that needs doing, on all fronts. I mean, really, some of these lists have sub-lists. To-do lists usually make me feel like an utter slug, just frittering time away instead of doing Needful Things, and this one's a doozy. Maybe if I do one thing from each section every day until, oh, 2015, I'll get it all finished?
It's a plan.
How do you manage your to-do lists? Who's caught up?
---------
* Carousel Tides Launch party list
House list
Writing list
Office (home and SRM) list
Cat list

The Keeper of the Lists
Date: 2010-10-08 08:47 pm (UTC)"Things that must be done or the Universe as we know it will end!"
(This list is limited to three items at a time, after all I am not a Super-Hero... alas)
"The Big Picture"
(Things that truly need to happen, but are not universe threatening...)
"Would be nice"
(This is for everyday stuff, like buy more vitamins on the way home... this is also the list that I add things already accomplished, just so I can have teh pleasure of marking them off)
I give myself a Peet's Coffee Mocha "bonus allowance" as a special treat for anything marked off the first two lists and for every ten things marked off the "would be nice", I don't actually get all that many mochas, but considering getting back down to "collage weight" is on my Big Picture List as "50 looms" that is OK

Date: 2010-10-09 03:49 pm (UTC)I'm in the priority list category myself, tracking what absolutely must happen each weekend. But those can be overruled by "get more sleep" and "read good book(s)" or "have fun with friends/family".
