You know that list I made yesterday? That mondo, epic, ridiculous list of all the things we’ve started but haven’t finished? Yeah, I laughed while I made it, but only because…holy love! That is a lot of stuff! What was I thinking???
I decided I wanted to make a list of things I’d actually completed this year, mostly to remind myself that I am, in fact, capable of getting things done. Except when I sat down to write it, I couldn’t think of anything.
Not
one
thing.
Apparently the thing I completed this year was starting things. Does that count? Doesn’t someone famous say getting started is half the battle? Could we up that percentage to around 80%?
Anyway, after a few moments of discouragement over my complete and utter lack of completion, a few meager ideas did, in fact, roll in. So here’s my Master List of Completed Tasks. Hopefully I’ll be moving some from the former list to this list.
- Getting rid of the old piano
- Get off blood pressure medication
- Making the wooden growth chart ruler
- Having a yard sale
- Making raspberry jam for the year
- 20 books read (and counting!)
So. Six things. Although the 6th on the list is reasonably good for 9 months. But I really hope to see a lot of progress in the coming weeks. Update tomorrow on what I’ve accomplished so far.
