Check-List Countdown

Day 86:

Today began a new semester.

Today began a new me.

Throughout the day I generated a list of To-Do's to be accomplished upon my return home this evening; most of the time such lists are vain attempts of attempting to motivate some productivity. Today's tasks ranged from faxing from Kinkos to stopping by Verizon to spackeling some dry wall from our latest remodel efforts, to name a few.

In all they totalled nine...looking at that number makes me wish it were a larger sounding.

Anyways, I've recently assumed some new responsibilities while adopting a new attitude of accomplishment. And tonight I can say, somewhat proudly I might add, that today's check-list is done.

Today I learned that I can get way more done with my evening if I don't take a nap when I get home.
Today I learned that pointlessly surfing the web saves time too.
But most insightfully, today I learned that they were right when they said, "If you put your mind to it, you can do it".

What have you put your mind to lately?
