Welcome to the first Tuesday of November and election day if you live in the United States. I will be taking my daughter out to vote for the first time. This has been one of the most divisive races in my life. I will be glad to see it over; though I doubt we will know the winner for days. 

Here was my list from last week.

• Daily Bible reading--DONE
• Walking three days--DONE
• MassSave Audit Tuesday--DONE
• Meetings Wednesday--DONE
• Media interview Thursday--DONE
• Finish editing two chapters for a client--Almost done
• Come up with marketing plan for the new edition of A Christmas Kindness--Not yet, but I have ideas
• Look into getting a small dumpster--won't happen, but need to keep it on the list
• Continue reading Systemology--Almost done
• Continue reading The Christmas Spirits on Tradd Street--DONE
• 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--Not a chance

I've begun thinking of my business plan for 2021 and what I want my goals to look like. Because of some things that came up unexpectedly, I need to focus on what I can realistically accomplish next year. 

This is what I am looking to accomplish this week:

• Daily Bible reading
• Walking five days
• Board meeting Tuesday
• Blog Tour Wednesday
• Marketing class Friday
• Finish yard work for the season
• Showings Saturday
• Take Sunday off
• Finish editing two chapters for a client
• Come up with marketing plan for the new edition of A Christmas Kindness
• Finish reading Systemology and review it
• Look into a new publisher for my GAP books--probably won't happen, but want to keep it on the list
• Look into getting a small dumpster--won't happen, but want to keep it on the list
• Prospecting two days

That's it for this week. Hope you'll share your to-do list for the week. I love to motivate people because it motivates me, too.

Well, well, well, here we are at Tuesday. It's a busy one, so I am putting this together as quickly as I can so I can focus on the rest of my day. 

Here is what I accomplished last week:

• Daily Bible reading--DONE
• Walking three days--DONE
• Six meetings and one class--DONE
• Appointments with new clients--DONE
• Continue fall cleaning--Whoops, was I supposed to do that? 
• Look into getting a small dumpster--Didn't even think about it 
• Continue reading Systemology
• Continue reading The Christmas Spirits on Tradd Street
• Review writing goals from 2020--DONE
• Start looking into a new publisher for three of my books--No time for this one

Real estate has been getting busier lately. I'm not sure why. People worried about the election? People worried about rising COVID cases? People deciding to give it a go despite those two things? As such, this week quickly turned into one where there was little white space left on the calendar.

• Daily Bible reading
• Walking three days
• Parent/Teacher conference Monday
• Inspections Tuesdays
• Meetings Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday which I need to prep for
• One class on Thursday--growing in your career is important
• Finish editing two chapters for a client--one is done and I'm working on the second
• Meet with local charity Friday to discuss holiday fundraising events
• 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
• 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

That's what my week looks like. How about yours?

What an exhausting start to the week. My work from home day turned into showings, visiting clients, and running around until late. I used to do this before the pandemic. Why does it seem so much harder now? 

Luckily, I started off the week with a Bible study and prayer time, so if I focus on that instead of feeling overwhelmed the week will turn out right. 

Here is this week's to-do list:

• Daily Bible reading
• Walking three days
• Six meetings and one class
• Appointments with new clients
• Continue fall cleaning 
• Look into getting a small dumpster 
• Continue reading Systemology
• Continue reading The Christmas Spirits on Tradd Street
• Review writing goals from 2020--DONE
• Start looking into a new publisher for three of my books :( 

I think that's it. What's on your list this week? Is there anything I can help do to motivate you toward meeting your goals?

Task it Tuesday - Jan 21

We have come upon Tuesday again. How funny that when we were kids the days seemed to drag on forever. Now, it seems they pass by in the blinking of an eye. Maybe it's because there always seems so much to do.

I've never seen myself as much of a planner person. Each year I try and wind up failing miserably. I bought a Christian planner last year, but I think by February it wound up buried under a pile of bills. This year, The Mindfulness Journal 52-Week Planner is on my desk and I am tracking every day so far. We will see how it goes. At the beginning of each week I go back to my vision board page to realign my focus.

Made great progress on last week's list. Here is the new one. Hopefully, I can check off the hangers on from last week that I didn't finish.

• Daily Bible reading
• Log food in Lose it! daily
• Maintain planner daily
• Meeting Tuesday
• Start real estate bootcamp Tuesday
• Meeting Wednesday
• Grocery shop Monday and meal plan (DONE)
• Finish extra material for A Christmas Kindness
• Edit next two chapters of project
• Copy edits for Dust of Lies
• Exercise Saturday and Sunday (Every day I am striving for 5,000 steps)
• Bylaws meeting Friday
• Take health assessment for insurance
• Clean the bonus room
• Organize spice and herb shelf in pantry

What does your to-do list look like this week? What is the most important thing for you to accomplish this week?

We have a snow day today, so I'm trying to clean the bonus room. I'm not sure how far I will get. The rest of the week is a blur of things to do and then we leave on Sunday for NYC. God willing, all that needs to get done will happen.

Here is what I had planned for this week:

1. Read a chapter from the Gospel of Luke each day 
2. Exercise twice
3. Get 6 hours of sleep at least 5 nights  
4. Finish decorating
5. Wrap gifts
6. Write Christmas letter
7. Keep editing the new manuscript
8. Blog 
9. Complete four more pages of additional content for A Christmas Kindness (kind of stuck on this right now)
10. Write a chapter of Amelia's Mission 
11. Continue 2020 Business Plan
12. Submit Clever Tom and another idea to my publisher 

That is it from my neck of the woods. What is on your list this week?

Task it Tuesday - Dec 3

Welcome back to Tuesday. By the time this posts, I hope most of the snow is done. We had about six inches Sunday afternoon into Monday morning, and then a break until Monday evening when it started up again. We already have the two to three inches more they said we would probably get, so it can stop any time now.

With this being the last month of the year, I'm working on reviewing goals and finishing up what I can. I haven't felt much like working, but bills need to be paid so I'm forcing myself to stay on track. Here is what this week looks like:

1. Read a chapter from the Gospel of Luke each day 
2. Exercise twice 
3. Get 6 hours of sleep at least 5 nights  
4. Make 150 copies of Christmas ornament craft for charity event
5. Keep editing the new manuscript
6. Blog
7. Complete four more pages of additional content for A Christmas Kindness 
8. Write a chapter of Amelia's Mission
9. Start 2020 Business Plan
10. Submit Clever Tom and another idea to my publisher

That's it for this week. I have a variety of meetings for work and a holiday event to attend at the Basketball Hall of Fame on Friday with my husband. I've been shopping a bit, so hopefully there won't be a mad dash at the end for Christmas preparations. The kittens are still attacking the tree multiple times a day, so we haven't decorated it yet. Not sure if the tree will have anything else but lights this year. Oh, well. 

Hope you're having a productive week.

Task it Tuesday - Sept 24

Originally created by The Geeky Blogger, Task It Tuesday is a weekly meme to help you--and me--get things done. The challenge is to post a task or list of tasks you want to complete before next Tuesday. These tasks can help you with your blogging life, reading life, personal or professional life.

Hard to believe more than a month has passed since I posted a Task it Tuesday. So, what's been going on with all of you? My world kind of looked like this:

• Came home from the Outer Banks and moved me mother-in-law in with us two days later.
• I worked part of our vacation, but things kicked into high gear as soon as I returned: three new listings within a week of being back (one unexpected), met with the elder care attorney, met with some of my business partners, meetings up the wazoo, and the market is moving so fast in some places if you blink twice you might miss something.
• Both girls started school, which made life easier and more challenging: back to regular schedules, but that means I'm driving the youngest around. Permit is coming at the end of the year.
• Took in the annual MAR Conference in September and also held a workshop at the library on book promotion.
• Closed two properties and put four more under contract.
• Gave the invocation at the Annual Legislative Breakfast and co-hosted a major investor event.
• Registration for the WriteAngles Conference launched and my treasurer duties kicked up a notch.
• Edited a manuscript for one of my publishers.
• Writing group met.
• Reviewed two books.
• Board meetings for the Wilbraham Friends of the Library started.
• Joined the board of Rick's Place.

I guess you have now figured out why I haven't been blogging much. LOL! 

The schedule finally slowed down this week, so I'm taking time to review my to-do list. Many of these are tasks that will take me more than a week, but every little bit helps. 

• Daily Bible reading
• Exercise four times a week (never happening, but the doctor says so)
• Blogging
• Get the yard ready for winter
• Clean the house
• Finish cleaning my office
• Get 6 hours of sleep a night
• Edit a manuscript
• Compile additional content for the hardcover release of A Christmas Kindness in 2020

Phew! Do you want to compare to-do lists? As we enjoy fall, let us take time to remember our many blessings--big and small--throughout the day. Enjoy your week!

Task it Tuesday - April 2

I was determined not to miss Task It Tuesday two weeks in a row. Even though it is late in coming, it is done.

The last couple of weeks have gone to hell in a handbasket. Leaving the church has left me unsettled. It was the right thing to do--especially in light of what I'm hearing is going on there now--but I feel like I have no home. I'm just so sad to see the church I have loved for over two decades go in the direction it is. We have gone to another church closer to us, but it's not the same and not even close to what I loved about our old church. This weekend we will miss service because the Lil' Diva and I are spending Sunday touring colleges. Maybe that will give me a new perspective.

Work has been ridiculous--listings coming, which is good--so that's why I haven't been blogging as much. I made a bit of time for writing last week, so I am happy about that.

Here is what my list looks like:

• Daily Bible reading - Ahead of schedule
• Stick to my 5-5-5-5 plan for reaching out to more people: 5 calls, 5 texts, 5 emails and 5 handwritten notes every day - Haven't tracked this in the last two weeks
• Time block my calendar - Haven't done this in the last two weeks
• Coaching call on Thursday
• Finish Chapter 21 of Amelia's Mission
• Find two agents for Clever Tom 
• Write query letter for Clever Tom

What's on your list this week?

• Update CRM - slated for Wednesday (In progress)
• Create a marketing proposal.
• Find an agent to which to submit Clever Tom 

What does your to-do list look like this week?
