Hi Sarah

I also tend to do the easy ones first

Good idea splitting house and other stuff.

What is the 100 list just out of curiosity?

Good luck with completing your list!

Hi Jane, I like to do the easy stuff first so I can cross things out more quickly and it makes me feel like I'm getting somewhere:o

The 100 list is a list of 100 things I want to do this year, things like lose a stone, go on holiday, find a nice pair of jeans, read a biography etc, it is like a New Year's resolution list but I made up 100 resolutions for 2009 so that I would at least complete some of them, rather than making 3 or 4 and failing by the end of Jan as usual It is third of the way through the year and have only managed about 6 things so far, even though I made lots of them very easy ones:o I do keep trying though:rolleyes: if I can do half I will be happy.

Good luck with your list too

:rotfl: I know it seem long but you have no idea how scatterbrained I am.:D My get it done list is mainly for the weekend, as I am such an untidy person I like to have a list that I can tick off when done to keep me on track, otherwise I would be living in a tip and have no food in the house and nothing clean to wear:o The rest are reminders for admin type things I have to do in the week. Yes, I really am that disorganised:o

My baby steps list is the small things I have to do each day to lose weight and generally feel better. It is not working:rolleyes: but I will keep trying:D

*rushes round to Shoe Gal's to post new baby steps list*

Wow what a great idea for a thread!

I am in major need of some motivation. I have four exams two weeks from now and I hardly know anything! So what do I do- that's right, I avoid doing my revision in case I realise exactly how little I know!

My tasks for today:
1) Spend 90 mins on algebra (doing example sheets)
2) Spend 90 mins on Vector Analysis (making flash cards)
3) Spend 90 mins on Analysis III (More flash cards)
4) Do the washing up

Can somebody please tell me off severely tomorrow if I haven't done these things?
