Mary, that is quite the list this week. I love looking at your lists as there is always something on there that I should be doing. The emergency binder is a great idea and after the bushfire emergency that we had this past Summer I really should start one. I need to take photos of every room so that I can show the insurance what contents we have. Need to add this to my planner.

Necessary Items:
[X] Work on class
[X] Laundry
[X] Wash and vacuum out car (maybe DD will do it for my birthday)

Jess, another long list from you.
I love that you add things like practice the ukelele, something that would be easily sidetracked or forgotten. If it is on the list at least it will be considered.

Yes! I have to add things like that or else, like you said, they won't even be considered for sure.

I need to take pictures at the new house once we get everything in place. Thanks for the reminder!

Mary, that is quite the list this week.

It won't all get done this week but when I know I put it out here, it's more likely to not to be forgotten. Plus, as I told my dh, when I don't feel like working on one item off the list, there's got to be something else from the list that I can do.

So I just realized today while shopping with my dd that our midway point of the unofficial summer, July 4th, is next weekend. I'm totally freaking out where the time went. I feel like I lost two weeks somewhere.

I feel like I lost two weeks somewhere.

I am struggling too with "lost time" I thought I had been pretty good with keeping on track but suddenly the first month of Winter is gone and I seem to be behind. I know with a little effort I will be back on track in no time. The beauty of this thread is since starting it last year I have never been in a better position and if I do fall off the tracks it is much easier to get back on.
