All The Things...

How will I ever get all the things done?

My to-do list grows and overwhelms me. There is no time like the present to put pen to paper (fingers to keyboard?) and start marking things off "the list," so here goes:

1. Type remainder of novel and find an editor
2. Create a budget and tackle debt:
     - $5,720 credit card
     - $56,750 RV
     - $158,150 mortgage
     - $52,809 student loans
     - $250,000 business loan (+ $63,000 auto)
3. Potty-train a belligerent 3-year-old
4. Blog
5. Layout and self-publish my children's book
6. Fully fund my Roth IRA
7. Lose 100 pounds
8. Get life insurance (current term ends August 2019)
9. Remodel kitchen (while avoiding additional debt)
10. Learn to play the ukulele 
11. Read to my child
12. Kickboxing class
13. Meal planning, grocery shopping, cooking, etc.
14. Make a will
15. Get a passport

Well, my list just didn't seem complete with only 14 items.

Awesome! I feel so motivated just seeing that list in black and white. I can work on at least one thing from that list each day. Ok - now to set some time frames.

1 month:
2 (budget), 3, 4, 11, 12, 13

3 months:
1, 2 (stick to budget), 3 (Please, God), 4, 5, 10, 11, 15

6 months:
2 (tackling debt), 4, 6, 7 (on my way!), 8, 11, 14

1 year:
2 (put 30K to debt), 4, 7 (at least 1/2 way!), 9, 11

Ok, perspective, people. Here's my immediate to-do list for this week:

1. Write (Type) on Thursday (1)
2. Working on budget for May (2)
3. Potty-training once daily until more receptive (3)
4. Blog daily (or multiples) (4)
5. Read to O-Monster (current fave: Gruffalo/Gruffalo's Child) (11)
6. Step Aerobics daily (preparing for 12)
7. Menu, Aldi list, O going to MS (13)

Let's revisit weekly,
