A friend of mine posted her To-Do List for her blog entry this morning. You can read it here. I commented to her that I think it might be easier and shorter (for me) to just do a To-Don't list. This would mean I could check off everything I need to do (but won't) and actually accomplish something.
Okay, so that really doesn't make much sense, but the point that I was trying to make is - my list of to-do stuff is SO long right now there is no way I could possible get all of it done.
Example: Remember the confession about the Christmas tree? Well, the hubby wrangled the poor old thing out the door, but my nutcracker collection is still sitting on the mantel. I suspect they are planning a coop or whatever else nutcrackers do when they are left by themselves for too long. I'm sure the fine layer of dust they are gathering on their headpieces and torsos isn't helping their dispositions any. But....will I be able to get them back in their boxes and put away today?
Nope. So...I could (in theory)...put them on my to-do list and not get it done...or....I could put it on my To-Don't list and at the end of the day - mark it off the list. Now it makes sense....right?
Today's To-Don't List:
Don't put the nutcrackers away (there's really only a little over 10 months before Christmas and they'll be back out anyway).
Don't wash the towels (really...isn't it kind of fun seeing how many small hand towels one can use to get dry?)
Don't stop by the grocery store to get something for dinner (you know you would rather eat out anyway)
Don't get anything else done today either (check, check...and....CHECK)
