My life has pretty much devolved into a bunch of to-do lists. I guess that's not necessarily a bad thing - unless stuff on the lists don't get checked off in a reasonable amount of time. Then the level of stress just seems to eat away at me. Thankfully, I've been able to get some stuff done and take great satisfaction in either striking out items on my electronic lists or scratching them off the paper lists with a thick black marker. Slash - another thing done. Whoo hoo. How ironic though - one of the things on my to do list (electronic sticky note on my laptop): order the book "Getting Things Done" by David Allen.
The ta da online to do list application is kind of ok. I like the collaboration part of it. Where I set up a couple of lists and shared with D. I think it'll need more testing before any decision on whether it's usable or not. (D promptly transcribed a bunch of his to do's to the big chalkboard in the kitchen at home - I think he just likes erasing stuff as it gets done). Yikes, I just checked my lists and the "things to do this summer" one is pretty ambitious because they're all pretty big projects. Lots of home stuff to do: build a deck, landscape yard, paint some rooms, refloor living room.... Well, one thing at a time I guess, maybe one project a month.

Oof. I hope you reward yourself with a big tall glass of something for all that hard work.
