I relied on them during my work years to be sure I got everything done that needed doing... but they don't really work with my current lifestyle. One of my favorite authors, Daniel Pink, does a podcast too, and I caught in passing his suggestion to create a "Done" list instead of a "To-Do."
I'm on day four of working with the "Done" list, and find it is just as effective and much more satisfying, to write down what I've done after I do it. I find myself marveling at what I get accomplished instead of beating myself up for what I didn't get to. Really different mindset, overall. I may have 20 or 25 things I've done, and many of them would never make the to-do list, like "make the bed." Now, that and everything else I do makes the list, and is helping me feel much better about what I accomplish on any given day.
Just a thought for all my list junkies out there. I do, by the way, have a short reminders list, but only for things I can't do today.
Later, y'all,
Love,
Lisa in Arkansas
I keep both.
I've got a long To Do list starting with upcoming appointments and urgent things to do ... things with due dates.
Then, when I finish something, it moves down into the Done section. That way, I can see how much I have accomplished.
I also change the Subject lines of emails to start with the date they are due so that I can scan down my emails and see what's next ... or sort by Subject and see what's next.
And I've got everything (I hope) in my work computer calendar, home computer calendar, and a whiteboard written calendar for the next month.
This week, just about everything got bumped except for my jobs: my paid job and my voluntary job. I've been putting in some VERY long days. Today started at 8 am and I'm calling it quits now at midnight so I can get some sleep.

Good morning ladies!
My cousin is coming over this afternoon. I feel like I need to become an exciting person before she gets here! I feel rather dull. Oh well, I am what I am. Lazy. Maybe now that my cousin is moving nearby from Florida I will have somebody to go out with.

Beth, i know how you feel. This last week when I weighed in the mornings I was sure that my scale was broken. I tried resetting and changing the batteries. When I got the same results I tried other scales. Unfortunately it was not broken. 😜
Today is a new day. Measuring what I ate more carefully helped. I was being just a little dishonest with myself. I got a way with it in my 40s, but now it is so much harder to move the needle in the right direction.

Yogi has had this growth I’ve noticed and it has started separating his bottom teeth. Took him to the vet yesterday to get as much of it out and get a biopsy of it, hopefully not cancerous. They’ll have results in 1-2 weeks. Why does it take so long for this *kitten*. The thing that was taken off of his chest area had opened up again. She didn’t charge me for having it stitched up again (as she shouldn’t have and I would not have paid if they tried to). Soooo back to 1 mile a day walks for him and he can only have soft food for his mouth issue. Poor baby. We are going to give him extra time at the beach when we are at cannon beach and when we stay at pismo. If he does end up having cancer, he’ll b going out with a bang!12 -

Arm from using grabber to pick up trash 3 days in a row. Good exercise for my heart and legs but bad for my arm. I do have a special brace given me a long time ago for the ‘itis’. I used g to hat and it feels better. Lifelong issue so used to it.
DS drama has new issue, his landlord is evicting him. For no reason stated. His rent is up to date but landlord said ‘he just wants him out’. Can they legally do that?
RvRita
Sorry about DS eviction! Being a renter, I believe they legally have to give a 30 day notice, but each state seems to be a bit different. I would have him contact his local housing authority, to know his rights. Good luck to him!
It made me tired reading all your physical activity friend! Pace yourself👍💖🙏!

There is a waiting list at the housing authority, and the RI one is being picketed because of it! The landlord claims he gave him a 30 day warning but it happened during his psychotic episode and hospitalization/ jail time. He caught up payments but I believe his actions and complaints during his illness is why they are giving him a week to move out. If so, there won’t be a $400 late charge and the eviction will be taken off his record. They will also give him references for a new apartment. So he is trying to find a place to stay temporarily until he can finish saving up first and last month’s rent for a new place. I’m trying to help with research and being a sounding board.
My eating is not improving but I am increasing my activity. No formal exercise but lots of walking!

Maybe he is being complained about by other tenants. If there is no lease the landlord only needs to give a 30-day or 60 day notice depending on what the lease said. If the lease is up it's month to month that's 30 days. If you really need to know the truth talk to the landlord. We evicted a lady because she had a dog that destroyed our place. We were going to evict another person because they were consistently late on payment. Never on the first always on the 5th.

I really think it has a lot to do with his breakdown. The rent was taken out automatically and since he wasn’t working, it bounced once or twice. With DS, it’s never his fault but as a mother, I know better. He is getting very tiring with wanting sympathy and help from everyone. He is 37 years old and needs to grow up. I know it sounds harsh but the last 4 months plus problems in the past have made me a bit bitter and going for tough love.

going out to lunch(belated birthday lunch beings I was sick on my birthday) to a Cajun Creole place. I have never been. DH went with a friend to try it out after I couldn't go.
Very short hours open- just 11-2:30 T-F and 8am -2:30pm on Sat.
He said it was really good.
Won't worry about the calories beings I am going to be working in the garden plus have zumba tonight for an hour. I will probable bring half home(or, if there is no seating as it is outside seating only and not a lot of it) we may just bring it all home and eat at home.)
I prefer to not be over full when I eat so almost always eat half or less- Eat small amounts, just more often.
Will try and track calories as best I can.
Looking forward to trying it- hoping the hush puppies are close to what I had in Mobile,AL. So far none are close to what I had.

Afternoon ladies
Im home with Alfie ,was watching mr mr this morning..
As soon as mommy leaves he starts to wail and does that until he falls asleep. Or after I drop Carmine at school i drive around to let him sleep.
Take him down at 9:30 for as Trudy says his double latte and then ,Tracy gets home around 5-10 after 12..he was passed out on me when she came in,she went to toast a bagel and honestly that boy can smell when she comes home he woke right up ,and her bagel got cold because someone was hungry lol..2 -
Lisa--I think your hand pies look nice and will be a welcome change once in awhile.
Heather-- What a cutie and what fun. Our grandchildren bring out the best in us I do believe.
Terri--Sorry for your loss. Hope your memories give you peace.
Rita--Tough love is not easy, but is the best for everyone. Been there and lived though it, at the time I did not think I would.
Beautiful day temps around 75-80. Storms starting tonight though Saturday, I sure hope we get some much needed rain. Last evening after supper we took the 2 furbabies for a walk. Boy, we are all out of shape, but they loved it, so try doing it several times a week. I have been stopping at the gym on the way out of work atleast 3 times a week. So slow but sure getting some exercise.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE

It's been a while since I used the MFP Diary option so thought I'd watch that for a few days. I have been away from calorie counting for years as I fast daily and really only eat one meal a day ... but those extra pounds came from somewhere and I need to be honest with myself.
Celia ... nope, my scale isn't broken either! And Debbie ... who needs Zumba after the contortions I go through "weighing" myself?
Pip ... hoping Yogi will be OK! He's such a great dog!
Rita ... sorry your son has to find a new place. Can't be easy finding an affordable apartment these days.
Katla ... a hummingbird feeder would be a great gift from you to your granddaughter!

Cloudy with sunbreaks today. Got horses and goats fed, did some weeding and am planning to wash clothes. I have bean soup in the crockpot for dinner. DD and I do soup one day per week. We have some for dinner, some for the freezer and she has some for work lunches.
The mobile home movers are supposed to be back one more time on Saturday morning to finish cleaning up. Hope they show up.
Rita - Lots of hugs.
Heather - Enjoy your outing.
Lisa - I have used done lists in the past. Need to start again I think. Definitely gives me a better perspective
Everyone take care, Sue in WA3 -
I'm relaxing in the hotel. The day went very well, but I get exhausted being with company. P gave us all a super lunch and we went to the Van Gogh portraits exhibition. Plus Impressionists. Then walked to dinner at a very pleasant and comfortable restaurant. I chose raw food, because I love it and DH doesn't. I had raw tuna and watermelon followed by beef carpaccio and rocket and parmesan salad. Ended with salted caramel truffles. Then I decided I had had enough, so I retreated to my hotel . The others are trying to install a new printer.
I have downloaded films to watch so I am happy.
