Because accountability gets things done

[next_to_normal]

Was chatting with Kelly this afternoon (instead of being productive in any way, lol, which will be ironic in a second), and I listed out the impressive number of things I need/want to get done. I feel like this always happens - between school and work and general exhaustion, most of my to-do list gets pushed back to the weekend, and I end up with this overwhelming-looking list. Sometimes I get it all done, but most of the time, I feel like this and so I have to claim victory if I only get two or three things accomplished.

But I thought maybe if I list it all out, it would make me more likely to do it - plus I get the exhilaration of crossing things off a list (do not underestimate this as a motivational tool). So here's my to-do list for the weekend:

• Do laundry (sheets and towels)
• Wash dishes
• Do homework
• Vacuum
• Clean bathroom
• Go clothes shopping
• Return library books
• Work out Between being sick again and the Zoloft killing my appetite, I lost 3 lbs. this week, so Kelly thinks I should give myself a pass.
• Cook dinner
• Wash dishes again
• Post book review
• Post Musical Sunday post
• Hang new shower curtain
• Buy liquid measuring cup, cheese grater, and vacuum cleaner bags
• Sew button back on coat
• Cook another dinner
• Wash the fucking dishes again Why oh why don't they clean themselves??

Hey, look. That's not a bad start, right? Will update with my progress. :)
