In case you haven't noticed, I'm a list maker. I wish I could say I get to cross everything off my list in a timely manner but I usually don't. I do find that I get more done if it is written down and that's why I've composed a list of stuff I ought to get done this week if I can cram it all in. Realistically, I'll probably get about half the stuff done. I like to throw a few easy things on the list to help me get started. It helps keep me motivated. It also helps remind me when I need to work on a particular personality trait. I've learned that I don't take time for myself unless I schedule it - thus there are a few things on my weekly list to make sure I am nice to myself as well as to others.
