How many things can you get done in one day's time?

Whenever I have a full day of things planned, I seem to get way more done. Conversely, on days that I have nothing planned, nothing gets done. I guess that makes sense. They say you should plan your work and then work your plan. And, if you fail to plan, then you plan to fail. Those quotes apply so very well to my life. If I know that I have twenty things to do in one days time, then I'm likely to get them all done. I know that there's no time to waste, so I don't waste any time on meaningless tangents. What about you? Do you waste less time and get more done, when you know that you have tons of things to do with your day? Do you get less done if you don't have anything planned? How does it work for you?

I think I fall in the middle. If I plan too much then I get overwhelmed and most things don't get done. If I plan to do 2 things then I usually get more than that done. If I don't plan at all and just go with the flow then I tend to get more things done. Of course there are those days when absolutely nothing gets done, but that is more because of my mood or the weather than if I have a list or not. Like today, it is raining out and I feel like crawling back into bed and watching a movie.

Then I say, "Go for it!" If you can't face the day,then don't. Why fight the weather. Maybe the sky is trying to tell you to take the day off.

I hear ya. I got my daughter off to school this morning and put out the trash. then I came on here. The bed and a movie are next. I learned a while ago to not fight it. I had a very busy and productive day yesterday, so maybe you are right about the weather telling me to take the day off. Either way , I am going to listen to it and curl up with my cat and a movie. Once I can get myself off of here of course. LOL

I usally plan on getting what I need done when I first get woke up and then after. I go online to do mylot and whatever else I want to do online. So far that is what seems to work the best for me. Or I stop and take a break and do what I need to do around my house and then come back.
