The weekend to do...

Currently I feel my life is ruled by lists - things to do lists, budget and lists of bills, a list of things to do around the house, a list of items to post on ebay lists lists lists…  Then there are the lists of things I need to do at work like uploading the 3 lists of client groups and contacts onto the database…  And the two lists I wish I was looking at most and not the least would be the list of things I would like to buy and the timetable at the gym…

What I've lacked to tell you is that some of these lists then have sub lists – on my list of things to do there is tidy the house, well this has its own list of specific things that need to get done around the house. 

Some things on the list of things to do make me laugh because this is week 3 or 4 and they are still there (really must start that assignment and paint the hallway, which would actually tick off 5 things over 3 lists…).

Anyway I believe this is called procrastination.  I must leave it there so I can tick off item 1! 

my creative space

My creative space this week should be about pretty paper, buttons, white frames and old pictures but unfortunately its more about the jumbled mess in my head and my growing list of things to do.  I am a list person, I like a list of things to do, I like to write a packing list when I go away, I like to write a shopping list.  I think it’s a flight of fantasy to be organised.  I am in lots of ways a very organised person but on the outside I don’t think it looks that way unfortunately.  I never stick to my shopping list, I always over pack, I am messy but I don’t loose things, I am always over prepared and I have an exceptional knack of pre-empting things happening.  None of those attributes make me a bad person I think they are good attributes, there are just lots of things that I wish I could change.  I want to be tidier, I want to be a minimalist, I want to be fitter, to stop shopping for unnecessary and save more.  Essentially I want to set goals and achieve them.  Baby steps me thinks, above is my weekend list of things to do (colour coded and everything) let’s see if I can get through that and then next week I’ll try for household domination (shouldn’t be hard its between me and the cat).

This week is all about the plans swimming around my head...
