Lists

I'm sure that most of you have figured out by now that I'm one of those people that does not function well without a list to keep me organized.  I make lists for just about everything.  I have lists for cleaning, shopping, cooking, gardening, homeschooling, band records, you name it and I've probably got a list for it.  

Making lists helps me to stay on track and organized.  There are so many distractions throughout the average day that making a list helps me to prioritize.  Even if I don't complete everything on my list for the week I at least know what needs to be done and where I need to focus my energies first. 

For me, lists are an essential tool.  So here's my TO DO list for this week. Thankfully I have quite a bit of it done already.
