Friday

[rolanni]

And 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?

Re: The Keeper of the Lists

The list of accomplishments works for my sister, a teacher who has summers "off", and used to write long to-do lists for each summer and be stressed about what wasn't done in August. She now makes a list of what she HAS done - and it works better for her.

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".
