Every ...I'd be SUNK without my to-do lists, Jo. Every Sunday I sit down and make a calendar for the coming week. It's the only way I can keep my head screwed on. I'm reluctant, however, to add, "cleaning" to the list because there's so much "stuff" to sort through that I don't know when I'd see the light of day again! Keep up the good (hard) work!Daphnehttp://www.musementsandamusements.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-19782896958381966422011-11-20T00:08:11.410-05:002011-11-20T00:08:11.410-05:00Joyce, I used to do the mental list, but that is n...Joyce, I used to do the mental list, but that is not very productive for me these days! lol I need to actually SEE it to remind myself what it was I wanted to do. Mental anything doesn't work very well for me, except writing. When stories or ideas start developing, I pretty much think it through and then try to immediately get to the keyboard or a notepad and get the gist down asap...otherwise, it's gone.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-2886294863275966272011-11-19T09:50:27.060-05:002011-11-19T09:50:27.060-05:00I make mental lists of things I plan to do, but I ...I make mental lists of things I plan to do, but I usually don't do them. It's a one of these days sort of thing. Eventually, it will get done--like when the mold grows in the house. ;)<br /><br />Joyce<br />http://joycelansky.blogspot.comCatch My Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338761214938263819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-67759149287060626612011-11-19T01:13:07.984-05:002011-11-19T01:13:07.984-05:00Susan...Tomorrow is the designated "clean the...Susan...Tomorrow is the designated "clean the furance-play-shithole room". It will be emptied and organized before I go to bed. I'm glad I don't have a whole houseful like that room, I would have lost my mind by now!

I guess that is what happens when you move from a 3 bedroom house to a 3 bedroom condo to a 2 bedroom. My husband says we just need to get a front-end loader at this point! I have no doubt you will get the things on your lists accomplished...when the time is right!Susan ~ Today's Writing Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357781498213225382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-11001541003395854422011-11-17T21:56:05.321-05:002011-11-17T21:56:05.321-05:00Mrs.Tuna...The basement has our family room, the l...Mrs.Tuna...The basement has our family room, the laundry room & kitchen, the tanning room, a guest room and then the aforementioned room. It's like another house below this one and I am obviously very good at hiding the 'should be junk' in those lesser used rooms! I just need to get them de-junked and then I will commit to keeping them that way.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-48962907023490026072011-11-17T21:21:34.561-05:002011-11-17T21:21:34.561-05:00I thank my lucky stars everyday that I don't h...I thank my lucky stars everyday that I don't have a basement.

About the only thing I actually make lists for is what I am going to write next and in what order. The rest of the time I wing it through life haphazardly zigzagging from this to that. :D I could surely take a lesson from you my friend!!<br /><br />Kathy<br />http://gigglingtruckerswife.blogspot.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564863484894692249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-17868161562363776472011-11-17T16:44:15.259-05:002011-11-17T16:44:15.259-05:00Beth...One drawer, wow, that would be doable!

Today I had several things I needed to accomplish--but my husband forgot to get the things I needed to implement that action plan (and we are down to one car) so I had to improvise and do tomorrow's things today!! HA! Yeah--I'm flip flopping the lists :) <br /><br />ONE of these days we should make a List of Lists we need to get completely finished!! :D<br /><br />Cheers, Jenn.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07559573562599754752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-41983440557800641382011-11-17T15:13:53.481-05:002011-11-17T15:13:53.481-05:00I have a junk drawer in the kitchen.

In theory, it holds tape, matches, playing cards, scissors, notepads, pens, a screwdriver, and the "save 20 for a free pizza" cards that come with each order delivered by our favorite pizzeria. <br /><br />In reality, that drawer is a catch-all for all kinds of stuff, a good percentage of which would do just fine in the trash. I clean it out whenever it gets so jammed with junk that it's either hard to close it or stuff starts falling out the back of it and onto my cookie sheets in the cabinet below.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
