To Do List Challenge Anyone?

April G · 02-24-2009, 12:57 PM

I have a HUGE list of things to get done (probably can't get it all done today) and need some friendly competition/encouragement to motivate me.

Here's my list:

Laundry washed & dried (in progress)
Laundry folded & put away
Finish 2008 spreadsheet for taxes (in progress)
Filing
Pay bills
Plan garden layout
Order seeds
Update salon website with new pics
Transfer pics on camera to online pic site (in progress)
Input my client's contact lists into spreadsheet
Create a client contact list for hair salon
Input salon clients into contact spreadsheet
Organize 2009 spreadsheet for tax records
Take a shower and shave legs
Figure out how to sync palm phone on new laptop (in progress... giving up for now cause I can't figure it out!

)
Order iShuffle charger
Scan Brent's baby pics

Will do before and after pics for the following:

Tidy and dust office (started)
Organize and clean out storage closet upstairs
Organize and clean coat closet
Organize and clean laundry room closet

So... who's in? Post your list here, and let's do it!

Bake muffins for breakfast tomorrow

Wake up way too early (for 6:30am Mass)
Meal-plan for the week
Update budget
Change master sheets
Dust master bedroom
Change kids sheets
Dust kids bedroom
Change guest sheets
Dust guest room
Vacuum upstairs
Ironing

I got my first load of laundry in, and was going to organize my laundry closet, and discovered my once-a-week cleaning lady (who is just supposed to dust, do floors and deep clean the bathroom) organized it for me!

I guess she got tired of digging through it trying to find cleaning supplies.

So no befores on that one... I did throw out a bunch of stuff that she stacked in there (empty boxes and containers) for me... but it took me a grand total of about 5 minutes.

I forgot about the time zone difference...

Feel free to post your list in prep for tomorrow... Mine is not all getting done in one day anyways...

This is probably for the week!
To do:
finish steamvacing den
clear off dining room table
clear off island
vac dining room
sweep and mop kitchen
scrub bathtub
sweep and mop bathroom
put away gun cases
put away new food storage stuff
spray paint ammo cans (2nd coat on first set, first coat of second set)
make romantic dinner for hubby tonight (eek pray that all goes well please, I'm notorious for ruining dinners on special nights. Any other night I can make perfect meals, just not special occasions.)
mail stuff to jenn
finish photo boxes
put photos in boxes (need to still work on the Europe pictures - I can't remember half the places anymore)
pick up salad stuff and bruschetta stuff for dinner
shower and get all pretty for tonight

I'm sure there is a ton more, but I've got to get my booty in gear if I'm going to pull off this surprise! I have exactly 3 hours!

Me, too.

I will go ahead and make a list. I have done little housework today because we had people over. Tuesday is just me and the kids until bedtime, so Tuesday is my cleaning day. I have been working hard every Tuesday to get everything nice and clean "one last time" before the baby comes, and there has been so baby, so I get to do it again.

To do list:

fold and put away dark clothing
dry socks/towels
fold/put away socks/towels
sweep kitchen floor
wipe down kitchen counters
clean kitchen sink
wipe sinks in bathrooms
vacuum downstairs
vacuum upstairs
work on dining room
mirrors in bathroom
toilets
get something ready to mail
pay water bill
wipe down La Bassine (it smells funny)
go bounce on trampoline
go for long walk
go into labor and deliver a healthy baby

Oh yay, I was super-motivated this last week because I had a group of moms over last night for a movie, but now it looks fairly decent, just hotspots left, so I don't want to do anything. The couches and floor are cleared.

So:
Get rid of pile on top of Entertainment center--DH help
Sort pile by microwave cart
Sort stacks of boxes by dining room table
Clear off bookshelf, junk and books willy-nilly
Sort said books and post on PaperBackSwap
Move books sitting in bag in the hall to shelf--eventually put natural living library together in a portable tub
Sort pile on end table
Move other endtable, scoot couch down and new chair back

Cook chicken that's thawed
Price and size sort rummage sale stuff
Post coats somewhere to sell

And yeah, this is for the rest of the week.
