Day Three – Did I Complete Anything At All?

gettingthingsdone500

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.

  1.  Getting rid of the old piano
  2. Get off blood pressure medication
  3. Making the wooden growth chart ruler
  4. Having a yard sale
  5. Making raspberry jam for the year
  6. 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.
