To Do List

I have often admitted here that I am one of those people who really likes lists. I am not particularly driven by them. In fact, if something spontaneous comes up, I happily chuck the list in favor of the more interesting spontaneity. But lists are helpful in organizing my thoughts, and today, on my day off, I need to make a list of the things I'm hoping to accomplish today and tomorrow. I derive an odd sense of satisfaction from checking things off a list, therefore, I list everything, no matter how mundane, that must be accomplished in a particular day.

• Write a blog or journal entry that does not entail discussing how busy I am, or what I have planned for the next few days - preferably one that talks about some of the spiritual stuff I've been thinking about this week.
• Job interview - 1pm. Make sure I've read the website for the office I'm interviewing at.
• Shower.
• Laundry.
• Change the sheets on my bed.
• Wash the dirty sheets.
• Spend at least thirty minutes outside in the sun. Remember to wear sunscreen this time in order to avoid the thirty minute burn that has made it difficult to sleep on my shoulders all week.
• Clean my desk so there is room for scrapbooking or cardmaking projects.
• Do something creative.
• Watch a movie or read a novel - something that is not work related and will let me escape my brain and simply relax for a while.
• Read some more of the Mike Pilavachi book that I'm enjoying so much.
• Do some writing on some of the scriptural insights I've been discovering lately.
• Email some more resumes out.
