My To-Do List

I make a to-do list every day.  Every single day.

And I am sure some are thinking: What in the world is there to keep up with for a Mama that stays home with her children all day?

TONS. There are more things to keep track of than I am able.  But that is a post for another day.

Hence, my to-do list.

It was one of my New Year’s Resolutions to implement some type of cleaning system for our house.  And with that came the need for a good planner.

I’m still working on the cleaning system, but I have found a fabulous planner that really works for me during this season of my life.

In years past, I would’ve thought it completely unnecessary to have something so…regimented.  I mean, who really needs things planned down to the hour?  Certainly not me!

Well, I caved and bought the Mead 2010 Daily/Monthly Calendar.  It has a month at-a-glance and then a daily/hourly guide.

Yikes.  That’s a whole lotta planning.  Good thing I’m a planning-kind-of-girl.

And laundry is definitely on the To-Do List.  In fact, it is one of the items I write in every morning, usually under the “Supper” Item.  Food and laundry seem to be my most important things to take care of on a daily basis.

I only check a load as being completed if it is: washed, dried, folded and put away.

Yes, it is that last one that is the toughie.

But if you’re a person that works well off of a to-do list, try this method.  It gives you such a sense of completion when you can check one of those little boxes off!
