This Week's To Do List


I started writing to do lists when I was in high school. I don't really know how it happened, I think my mom got me a day planner and I just started filling it out. I wrote all the homework I had to do that night, chores I had to do, when I had to work, etc. I became almost obsessed with writing everything I had to do down and it really worked for me. It made me feel organized, calm (or not, if I had a lot to do), and it helped me be VERY productive. I believe it helped me get through all those years of college and work. Just this year, I finally started throwing them away. They are like journals for me because I can see what I did on an exact day. For my life right now though, I had to throw them away in order for me to move on, but that's a whole other blog post later.

Every week I will share what I would like to get done for the week. Maybe it will help me stay on track. Maybe I will find other ways to help me be productive because lets face it, being a stay at home mom for the last 6 months has made me be a bit more relaxed when it comes to work. Baby is the number 1 priority anyway.

I keep a day planner, google calendar (which currently isn't updated), goal lists, big to do lists, weekly, daily, etc. etc. etc. It's a little ridiculous. I'll be combining and creating the best way to stay organized and share here.

This to do list is what I would like to add to my daily life and get done in the near future.



  • Organize all digital pictures from phone, computer, hard drives - There are many many many of these. My plan is to catch up and then regularly maintain.


  • Pull apart old journals and paperwork - As part of allowing myself to move on with my life, I'm shredding journals that do not need to be saved. Many are so negative about myself and how I look and feel. I sorted them when we were packing to move in December but didn't have the time to finish the project.


  • Organize ALL art stuff - I have a huge stash of art supplies including yarn, beads, paint, scrapbook stuff, and more. I will organize them into different categories so I can actually use what I have.


  • Start crafting/painting/crocheting

  • Read a book

  • Learn how to cook new food
