HEALTHY HABITS FOR OCTOBER: Drink more water/get more sleep/walk regularly/limit sugar
MY WORD FOR 2020: Diligence
Does that 40 day sugar fast give you time to complete before Thanksgiving? 😉 Your lists are always so detailed.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter came for supper today and she spoke of not getting anything done today. When I pressed her for what she had accomplished, she rattled off a long list. If she'd written a list, she might have felt more productive. I am more that kind of person, write down the list after the fact.
Yes, it does! We planned it carefully to end the day before Thanksgiving.
DeleteWriting down the list after the fact can work too! But I know myself and, as I've said many times, if I aim at nothing I will be sure to hit it. Having that list nudges me into action. If I get to a point in the day when I can't think what to do next, I'll look at my list and pick an easy task I can do quickly and cross off.
I should probably follow your example and set some realistic goals for myself each month. October is also my favorite month, except for September because it is my birth month. We are enjoying some cooler days finally and that always inspires me to start working on more things. Summer is a bummer (hey! that rhymes) for me...just too hot and humid to feel like getting involved in much of anything. I think I will make a list for the rest of this month, and then long range for Nov. and Dec. After the holidays I tend to rest a while...
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Pamela, to make a list for the rest of this month. Will you post your list, or just keep it yourself and cross things off? Either one can work, of course. Long range lists for Dec. and Nov. are a good idea too. I have a Christmas notebook but I have done almost nothing in it this year. It's been such a strange year! I am doing well to keep up with the grandkids' birthdays.
