Susan - Somedays my to-do list helps and some days it is just a piece of paper sitting next to my stack of work. Guess which one it is today. :D Wendy – been there, done that – just not the chicken thing ;) For me the more I have to get done then the more things are going to come up to keep me from getting done.

I almost never get through it, so things get pushed to another day. Someone suggested using Outlook. Personally, I prefer pen and paper. (Say that 10 times fast!) Blessings, Susan Hi Kathryn -

It’s strange, but the longer my to-do list, the more productive I am. I almost never get through it, so things get pushed to another day.

You want to see a to-do list?? Yesterday I had a writing project that had to be completed by noon, and I wasn't happy with the "final" draft, so I was doing last minute revisions. Then a neighboring farmer called to say we'd be getting our first snow of the season come nightfall. It was all-hands to get the chicken coop weatherproofed before the precipitation hit. What could I do? Well, I had to call my client and tell him the truth - he couldn't have the article till COB, instead of noon. I HATE doing that, but chickens take priority. That's my new motto, btw! "Chickens Take Priority." I bet it sounds great in Latin. Wendy Given a series of unfortunate events, I am currently living on a farm in Northeast Nowhere.
