Weekly Challenge 2/20/11-2/26/11 Crossing items off of your "to do" list!

We all have them...our "to do" lists.  Some items get done due to priorities and others get bumped to the bottom of the list and never seem to get completed.  Part of it is due to our timing and need to prioritize more important items.  Another aspect is pure desire which can lead to procrastination of other items.

 

I have felt like a ton of bricks hit me over the head since Thursday.  After days of sleeping and doing my best to take care of myself, I worked my way to the doctors today to discover I have an ear and throat infection UGH!  My total body aches from head to toe! 

When I think about crossing off tasks from my "to do" list this week, it does not seem possible but I trust there will be a way and I hope for you, no matter what your week entails, you will find the possibilities of crossing off some of the undeserving or forgotten "to do" items that continue to remain on your list.

 

Weather you have a physical or mental list, we all have items in our lives we want to work on completing.  Some are fairly easy and some more complex.  In any case, these items are important to us...why else would they be on our list?

 

Some items on your list you may want to consider tackling this week may include:

• Cleaning out your closets
• Going through your wardrobe
• House projects like painting or floor repairs
• Re-organizing your books or other such collections
• Going through your attic or storage area and donating items that no longer serve you
• House cleaning
• Bill organizing
• Scrap booking that has been put aside
• Photo organizing
• Taking all your loose change to the bank
• Scheduling time to work on a project
• Volunteering for that organization or project you always think about
• Taking a friend out that you have been promising for some time
• Spending "quality time" with someone special where other priorities seem to get in the way
• Talking to someone about something that has been on your mind and getting their advice
• Planning that getaway vacation you always dream about and say you will do at some point

There are so many items we keep on our list, ranging from task type to do's to the more complex items.  In any case, pick one or some and get to it!  Make the items on your "to do" list that keep getting bumped to the bottom a priority this week.  Challenge yourself to fit this into your life.  It may mean you will need to reorganize other aspects of your life but well worth the effort in the long run!  Have fun and check off some of those long and overdue "to do's"!!
