Hi Sarah.
I think I'll join you if that's okay. I have at least 6 notebooks, 2 filing trays and a noticeboard covered in post-its half-full of lists of things to do - in my never-ending endeavour to be more organised, it might be better if I keep just one list on here.:rotfl:
My list for this week (to be completed by Friday night) is- Do my housework (I can't bear to split this into separate tasks - too scary). Done (vaguely - won't stand close scrutiny)
- Do all my washing. Done some - don't think I'll manage this now.
- Do all my ironing.Done
- Finish my marking. Done:j
- Prepare my lessons for Monday. Done
- Go shopping and get enough food for the week. Half done
- Change appointment for gas meter to be changed. Done
- Check a cashback site for any freebie offers. Done
- Clear one thing a day from above said filing trays. Done
- Catch-up with surveys in my inbox. Done but haven't kept up with new ones, so now have more to catch up on.
- Do surveys as they arrive in my in-box! Sort of
- Catch-up with competitions.
- Keep up-to-date with competitions.
- Clear the piles of empty coke bottles I've saved from work to enter into coke-zone.
- Do my daily scratch/clicks routine every day. Done
- Sell something.
- Buy a father's day card and present.
- Clear out some paperwork at work every day. Done
- Clear and clean one kitchen cupboard.
- Throw/recycle/donate one thing every day. Done
- Have something to eat and wash-up before I put the computer on every night. Done
- Do any new things on the day they come in. Done

Well, didn't get off to a particularly good start - didn't feel very well yesterday so went back to bed all afternoon. Feeling better today, so will have to do twice as much to catch-up.
I seem to have quite a few things I said I would do every day, so I've made a separate list to keep me focused. Managed to throw out some rubbish so far (anything to put off the housework and the marking!).- Clear one thing a day from above said filing trays. Done
- Do my daily scratch/clicks routine every day. Done
- Clear out some paperwork at work every day
- Throw/recycle/donate one thing every day. Done
- Have something to eat and wash-up before I put the computer on every night.
- Do any new things on the day they come in. Nothing new in.

Hi. I'm actually finding that this challenge is really motivating me to get things done - I want to write done next to everything. This level of motivation is most unusual for me :rotfl:.
I'm going to put up my daily list, so I can tick it off tonight, and try and do a couple of things from the weekly list.
Today I will- Clear one thing a day from above said filing trays. Done
- Do my daily scratch/clicks routine every day. Done
- Clear out some paperwork at work every day. Done
- Throw/recycle/donate one thing every day. Done
- Have something to eat and wash-up before I put the computer on every night. Done
- Do any new things on the day they come in. Done
Have a good day.

Hi Polly, it's bizarre isn't itBeing able to cross things out is hugely motivating, I'm not usually like this at all:rotfl:I don't know how I managed before this challenge started:o
I have got through quite a lot this week but never managed to complete a whole list so far:o I love his challenge though, it keeps me on track:D
