Task Lists!!!

Today we’re talking task mastery. As if there were such a thing. I love task lists. I make them. I lose them. I start new ones. I write things on them I’ve already done just so I can check them off. I get bored with them and drop off the map for extended periods of time. It’s a problem!

I know they work. I’ve tried nearly every type of memo pad, post-it, and app known to woman. All work if used all don’t if not used. Some fit life at one stage and then don’t if something in life changes. I’ve been using one app for about four years on and off and it’s the one I keep coming back to so I’ll explain what I love, like, dislike and hate about it. Read on and then drop me a line on what you use and why.

Focus Dammit!

It’s a new year and I’m not one for the whole New Year’s Resolution game but this year I’m trying. I’ve made lists of self-improvements I want to make, things I want to accomplish and even picked a “mantra word” – focus. Ya, lord knows that’s the right word for me. I feel like I’ve spent something like five years very scattered, maybe more.

I desperately need to manage my time better. I’m wicked board quite a bit and yet can’t seem to find the time to accomplish anything. I need to get back to making task lists and checking that shit off! I’ve moved my ToDoist app’s widget to the front page of my phone and heck that’s the only reason I’m here writing this post. I want to check “write blog post” off my list.

Ugh, this whole focus thing is really going to test me. I think I need to approach it that way. Like a nemesis. I WILL CONCUR YOU. YOU DAM FOCUS YOU. Ok that might be a little extreme but you get the idea.

Going into 2019 like…

Which is better than the usual Nexflix binge
