Every year I write a list of things I want to do during the year. Some things might be hold overs from the previous year and that's alright. I don't worry if it's on the list again. I know that eventually it will get done. Then there are all the new things that go on the list ie. a new author I want to read, a new gardening project, trying a new crafting medium, finishing something that didn't get completed, and the list goes on. I find it easier to write it all down. It keeps it more tangible. There are sometimes little nagging chores that need to get done but are forgotten until the next time I realize it needs to be done. So writing it down makes it a constant reminder and it's more likely to get taken care of. And at the end of the year it's gratifying to read all the items that got the "check mark" of completion!
Something else I do is make a monthly list of "What I accomplished in .... I find it is a helpful reminder of all the things that do get done during the course of the year. As the years pass more quickly, it's hard to remember just what all I do with my time. I think we all tend to think in terms of large or noteworthy. But let's face it, it really is all the little things that add up to the passing day, week, month, and year.
So here's to 2011 and all that it brings and all that I make of it. Wishing one and all, happiness, health, and best wishes.
