I am a huge list maker! There is something so satisfying in marking off a task that I have to make lists,of course it could be an OCD thing. As you all know I have been having a hard time getting things accomplished lately because life seems to be getting a bit out of control. Last year I wanted to set up my own Etsy store only to have a million other things happen that prevented that. Today I found a great printable from Clean Mama that I just knew would inspire me a bit.
I printed out two, one for home and one for my business. It is all the things that I want to get accomplished within a months time. As you can see there are a lot of things but I think if I take it one task at a time and just go through each one I will get them done, I have a month after all. My home one (shown above) is mostly organizing things that I never seem to have the time to do. It always gets away from me. The truth is I feel like they are things that can be put off til later.
My business one is a bit more work but many of the things are little that I keep putting off. You will notice that my Etsy business is on there. That is because I will be making a plan and following through with it. I will not open until next year but I am going to sit down, write out my business plan, and go from there. I make myself printables all the time (although I have been so buy lately that I have to purchase them or use free ones) and will be creating and selling those. I also make personalized insulated cups and will include them as well. I am going into business with my sister on this so it should be a trip!
I’ll let you know next month how I do and will be sharing pictures and more with you. Do you have things that you put off that need to be done? Tell us about them!
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

I have a ton of things that need to be done! I make myself lists constantly and do pretty good because I give myself time to get them done. I make a list of about 4 bigger projects (like cleaning out and organizing all closets) and then all my daily stuff and give myself a week to do the bigger stuff. No stress because I have extra time to do it! Lists are great!
I put off painting which I did yesterday my sons room now looks fantastic (hate to admit I’ve had the paint since February)
Seems like I have a ton of things to do daily. And I start a new list, instead of crossing off the tasks I have already completed – mainly to make my list of “to do’s” look shorter. But more chores just keep piling on and then I’m back to square one, and my first list is still not complete. Guess I need to stick to one list!
