I get frustrated when I do a paper list and don't accomplish half of the items. <br /> I, also, seem to be in a slump. quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252285009517721143.post-1677456323410835572012-11-16T12:13:53.823-05:002012-11-16T12:13:53.823-05:00Hi Jean -

The smaller lists are a way of prioritizing what needs to be done today.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)<br /><br /><br />Susan J.

Breaking it down into dailies takes the stress out of the list.<br /><br />Hi Nancy - A blog skin is the design. The purple surrounding my text is the blog skin. :)<br /><br />Hi Dotti - I thought I was the only one who did that! (Write an item down that I've finished so I could cross it off.)<br /><br />Hi Marja - My new blog skin was slow loading just now, but it appeared. <br /><br />Sorry you're having the same challenges as me. I've been trying to write an article for days, but it's like slogging through mud.<br /><br />Hi Sarah - You bring up a great point! Flexibility = sanity. When my day doesn't go as planned, I just roll with it instead of stressing out. <br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

I used to assign weekly things to certain days, but then I just ended up stressed when my day didn't allow for it. Giving myself flexibility has been nice. :)Sarah Forgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09101753891967001104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252285009517721143.post-16394839306451145862012-11-14T05:40:59.251-05:002012-11-14T05:40:59.251-05:00Can't see your blog background either.. sorry....Can't see your blog background either.. sorry.<br />Well Susan, I totally understand what you are talking about. I feel I must write, but I can't get much done. No new ideas...<br />I have come to the point that I do what I MUST do and CAN do: writing blogposts (1 or 2 a week) and reading others (to be inspired) and write the articles and columns that are due and that I get paid for.<br />I have picked up knitting and crocheting.. yeah, really, it helps me to relax and think. So I am sure the muse will show up again ;)<br /><br />I like your list, although I have gone from a TO DO list to a DONE list (much nicer when I look at it at the end of a day)<br />Blessings,Marja Verschoor-Meijershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475263793581289701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252285009517721143.post-89438243909072374112012-11-13T23:58:58.243-05:002012-11-13T23:58:58.243-05:00Hi Susan, I can't see the skin either.

I hope you sort it out soon enough. <br />I love your list making. I'm a list maker too. Even to the point where I add things after I've done them...just to cross them off with flourish. <br />I hope the writing kicks in again. I'll be praying... <br />Blessings<br />Dotti :)Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13622521834128746217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252285009517721143.post-38448272071374803382012-11-13T12:33:15.101-05:002012-11-13T12:33:15.101-05:00I kind of use your method.

I clip these on the back of my daily lists. It all works out, doesn't it?<br /><br />I'm sorry but I don't know what a blog skin is.
