Whether I have ten or two things on my daily list, I have a hard time being motivated to complete them. What isn't finished today should get done tomorrow.
I function better with a visible list, but creating that list is often a task I am not motivated to do. I will make one tomorrow.
I plan on doing better tomorrow!
The truth is that today is important and many things on my to do list aren't as important as others. Sure I could have the tidiest house, or most fit body, those things are good, but choose other things like experiences with my kids. I once asked my mom how she thought that my kids would remember me when I pass. She replied, "You always make things fun, you're the fun mom!" Inside I beaned, did a happy dance in my head. "Oh yeah I am the fun mom. I am not the tidy mom, the organized mom, nor even the cool mom, but I am the fun mom."
So today I will enjoy being the fun mom. I am headed out for a bike ride the piles of books and office supplies stretch across my dining room can wait till I get back or organizing can resume tomorrow.
