Janet's To Do List

I have managed to get a couple more things done on my list :)

I am copying an idea from an online friend, Christine, to keep a goal list. Although the concept certainly isn't new, it is new to me to actually write it down. I have always kept "the list" upstairs in my head. As I get older, have more stress and never seem to accomplish much, I decided I needed to get some of them out there so I could deal with them. I have so many ideas in my head, that seem to never make it to the top of the list, let alone be remembered!!! I am not going to do a monthly, weekly or even a daily list, right now. I have so many things roaming around in my head, that for now, I think I will just list all that I remember and go from there. I will then try to break it down to weekly goals :) At this time, I feel just getting them down will help immensely. So here we go (in no particular order!): List started October 19
