List Addiction

I make lists every day. When I'm on vacation it kills me not to make a list. When we were in Cusco, Peru last month I was so excited to write a grocery list for our AirBnB! Not all of my lists are created equally. Some are very efficient and make me super productive, but they take a few drafts usually. I used to laugh at my husband because his lists included things like:

• Shower
• Get dressed
• Eat 5 strawberries
• Don't read the news

I always teased him that he forgot to put "Wake up and breathe." This made me realize how not all lists are created equal. Also there are so many types of lists that best serve at different points in your life. Sometimes you need that basic list to tell you 'Go take a shower!' I find myself wandering around the house sometimes not sure what I should be doing. I check the list and I have a task. When I am in a funk I try to give myself easy tasks that can be done without too much effort. By the time I am half through the list it feels like I am so on top of things! It gives me confidence to take on the next day! 

Today I killed my list! Uber productivity especially since it was a Sunday and I have been dragging for the last three days with a holiday television binge. Today I started off with making the bed, and showering. I did everything on my list except go to the grocery store, which I put off until I heard from my husband of when he is coming home this week. Turns out he is coming back on Wednesday, so that changed my grocery list for the week. 

A Sunday well spent brings a week of content!
