Lets talk lists!
I am the type of person that really enjoys the process of making a list, and crossing things off. I think its because I strive to be productive and organized, but with 4 kiddos now, productive and organized are not always words that I would use to describe myself or our life.
Side note: Does anyone else ever write something down and cross it off AFTER you've completed the task?
Sitting down with my notebook and a cup of coffee is part of my usual morning routine, but I frequently find myself caught in this vicious cycle of writing #allthethings, not having the time/energy/motivation/ability to finish #allthethings, and then feeling down and frustrated because if I didn't cross off #allthethings, than I must not have been very productive for the day. And in my mind a non productive day is not a "good day".
Is this a struggle that all moms have, or is this a SAHM thing? Either way, its something that has the potential to either leave me feeling great or (as its happened more and more recently....) not so great.
This week I am going to make a conscious effort to limit my daily to-do list to 10 manageable tasks. I will brainstorm a special mama treat to celebrate when I am able to follow through on my list every day this week!
How do you manage your to-dos? Are you a list person like me or do you have a different system? I'd love to hear your thoughts and/or suggestions!
