Always with the unexpected, my Beyond Layers’ guru…..after reading the Weekend Texture post, I thought – ah….Kim is going to challenge me to clean my desk – easy peasy. Have I not learned anything in our Beyond Layers journey?
Of course our challenge today is so much more, and I’m grateful for the nudge……
Last year I happened upon a little bloggy party – 40 things in 40 days. I made my list of 40 tasks that needed to be accomplished, some little – some huge. The blog author suggested breaking down a big chore into stages – making it less daunting and more likely to be accomplished – this worked well for me. At the end of the 40 days, I was quite pleased with the accomplishments I’d made – but not ready to compile a new list. I think it’s time. I’m going to add a little list on the sidebar to keep track of my tasks as I check them off the list.
