To Do

To do:

Write a To Do list

Finish Born to Run

Clean office

Compose

Make risotto and apple crisp for dinner

Dishes

Clean up and catch up with e-mails

Composting stuff

This was, more or less, my "To Do" list for the day. I did the dishes, but I kept making more and didn't keep up with all of them, so I couldn't cross it all the way off. I'd fallen behind on my e-mails, including notifications of new blog posts, and I got mostly caught up with that, but not quite, so it didn't get all the way crossed off either. I got stuff taken out to the composting bin, but since I didn't clean my office, I also didn't shred more paper to add to the heap.

The real point here though is how much I like a good "to do" list, especially now that my time is so wide open. I felt so productive this morning into the early afternoon as I checked things off my list. I probably gave up a little too early, but even without crossing off everything, just having a list helped me get more done than I think I would have otherwise.

What about you? Do you like To Do lists? Use them frequently, sometimes, or never? Anything you can add, please do!
