Hi, Kim! Thks for dropping by here. Glad you found this idea useful. Let me know how it works for you. But maybe a desk that looks like it could take flight isn’t all that bad.

I’m a sticky note nut. EVERYTHING goes on a sticky note. Needless to say, my desk looks like it could take flight at any moment. Today, the notes come down and the list will be put on paper. Thanks for the obvious, yet elusive (for me) idea!

I have used a similar system for years. I get lots done, but lists like that are like bailing out the ocean. They never get completed. This is more of a ‘bucket list’ to me.

To get things done and completed so you can toss out your list, keep another list of what you have finished so that you can see how much you have accomplished! I have found that I look back on those accomplishments with much more satisfation than I would have with a shorter list of to-do’s.

The never-ending list is what stresses me out.

Bonnie, I do that too but I’ve got my running list down to less than 2 pages by deleting those to-dos that are not so important. So far no-one’s noticed they didn’t get done

You are right though – way better on paper than rattling around in your head!
