I often feel like I get nothing done. Usually once I think back on what I did in a day, that’s demonstrably not true. To prove it to myself, last weekend, a four-day weekend, I counted up how many tasks I checked off my to do list.<\/p>\n
Items on the to do list and completed: 40
\nItems not on the to do list and completed: 16 (including installing new shower heads, setting up the rain barrel, laundry…)<\/p>\n
Items remaining on the to do list: 3
\nNumber of those items that were added to the to do list during the weekend: 1
\nNumber of those items started but not finished: 1 (that was finishing my outline for the novel workshop later this month)<\/p>\n
Items removed from to do list and postponed: 9 (at least)<\/p>\n
Total items done: 56
\nTotal items not done (out of items I meant to do during the weekend, not out of all items on my to do list, or all possible tasks in the universe): 12<\/p>\n
Not bad at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
