I am a procrastinator. I love impromptu parties. I struggle with insomnia. Would it surprise you if I told you that I struggle with accomplishing my goals? 😊 Fortunately, I now have a plan that helps me stay focused so that my goals can be accomplished! It includes creating a daily and monthly list of my tasks.

At one time I tried creating a daily list that was entirely too detailed. This type of list did not work, because I tried to schedule the time of day each thing on my list was to be done. I am a spontaneous person, and that type of schedule was a disaster for me. I then tried a more general approach. I started making one list, and then crossing each thing off as I went. That went well, but after I began working from home, I needed something that helped me stay a little more focused. I came up with the plan listed below. It is not as broad as the “one list idea”, but it gives me room for flexibility. I can swap days, or work until midnight if necessary. I find this very freeing, because it allows me to run errands, or to enjoy an impromptu coffee party without throwing my schedule totally out of whack. Here is what my schedule looks like, and how I keep it organized.   (This is not my exact list. I just created a list that is similar to my list, as an example.)
