The List Is Growing

August 24, 2015 12:36pm CST
My "To Do" list that is. For every 1 thing I cross off of it, I add 2 more thing onto it, so it's slowly getting LONGER even though I'm accomplishing things. Quite frustrating! I've had offers from both my mom and mother in law to help me, but I'm not sure what exactly they can do. It's all work related things for me, so it's not like I can assign them a task. There is some cleaning things that need done, but we clean with Norwex and my mother in law just doesn't seem to understand how to use it. The rest of the stuff on my list are errands I have to run, which they could watch zj while I do that, except I can only be gone for 2 hours at a time as zj is still refusing to take a bottle from anyone! So.... probably what I should do is get of the computer and get working on my to do list, but this is so much more fun.

You sound very busy. I'm totally the opposite haha. Especially now since I've still got a week of the summer holidays left so I'm still in totally relax nothing to do mode. It's good that you have a to do list. They make sure you know exactly what you need to do and as a result help you stay more organised. The problem I see with them is that you write too much down and get frustrated when you can't do everything on the list. You can't have unrealistic goals for what you can possibly do. Remember to breathe and relax. Especially at the end of a long day. There is no ue worrying yourself and not being able to get a good nights sleep which is necessary to have a productive day tomorrow. Sometimes you have to accept there is nothing more that you can do.

@MakingCents haha thanks. I'm getting bored of it though. I have to find things to do during the day instead of just spending my whole time on mylot. I just rediscovered the site and was surprised and excited that they pay you to participate again.

I love checking things off my list. Sometimes if I do something not on the list, I add it to the list so I can cross it off :)
