Task it Tuesday - Oct 27

We have come to the last Task it Tuesday of October. Last week flew by in a blur. This week will be close to the same. I have a short break at the beginning of November before the National Association of Realtors Conference starts. After that, I hope to get the house in order for the holidays... I still haven't finished fall cleaning. 

Here is how I did last week:

• Daily Bible reading--Missed a couple days, but enjoyed Bible study
• Walking three days--DONE
• Parent/Teacher conference Monday--DONE
• Inspections Tuesdays--DONE
• Meetings Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday which I need to prep for--DONE
• One class on Thursday--growing in your career is important--DONE
• Finish editing two chapters for a client--one is done and I'm working on the second--NOPE
• Meet with local charity Friday to discuss holiday fundraising events--DONE
• Come up with marketing plan for the new edition of A Christmas Kindness--NOPE
• Look into getting a small dumpster--won't happen, but need to keep it on the list--Never even thought about it
• Continue reading Systemology--No time
• Continue reading The Christmas Spirits on Tradd Street--One chapter
• Start looking into a new publisher for three of my books--won't happen, but need to keep it on the list--I knew this wouldn't happen

This is my last to-do list of the month:

• Daily Bible reading
• Walking three days
• MassSave Audit Tuesday
• Meetings Wednesday
• Media interview Thursday
• Finish editing two chapters for a client--Working on the second
• Come up with marketing plan for the new edition of A Christmas Kindness
• Look into getting a small dumpster--won't happen, but need to keep it on the list
• Continue reading Systemology--Probably won't happen
• Continue reading The Christmas Spirits on Tradd Street
• Start looking into a new publisher for three of my books--won't happen, but need to keep it on the list
• Plan to be off Friday (we will see how that goes)

I will leave you with a bit of encouragement to get your own list done.

Welcome back to Tuesday. I have to admit to feeling unproductive this week. I have tasks, but don't feel like tackling them. When I feel this way, I take a walk to clear my head or force myself to plod through. I took a short walk this morning and also watered the garden. This afternoon, I hope to go back into the garden for a bit to keep the weeds from growing too quickly.

Let's look at last week's list to see what I accomplished.

• Meal planning - DONE
• Daily Bible reading - DONE
• Update planner  - DONE
• Walk three days this week - DONE
• Book review due Wednesday - DONE
• Empty pantry Tuesday night or Wednesday morning - DONE
• Added - Clean upstairs bathroom - DONE
• Added - Clean bonus room - Started

So, last week was probably the most productive week I've had in a while. I'm thrilled.

Here is what is on my list this week.

• Daily Bible reading - on track
• Weed garden
• Update planner 
• Three doctor's appointments 
• WriteAngles meeting
• Walk three days 
• Start Strong from the Heart by Jon Land for August review
• Continue cleaning bonus room
• Finish chapter 2 of The Sisterhood

Looks like my week is full. What does your week look like? Anything specific you need to accomplish?
