- I prioritize what I need to get done and put the most necessary "have-to" things at the top of the list, then when I finish I can work on the "want-to" things!
- I also maximize my time by doing everything I can in one area before moving on to the next.
- My lists help me economize my time and energy - if I don't write things down, I'll forget something, never fails!
- My little guy turned ELEVEN on Thursday. I was happy that he let me sit with him and his friends for lunch - he's the best!
- The party was Friday - indoor go karting then Dairy Queen with five crazy boys - the SUV was hopping all over town! But mom only let one of them spend the night.
- Then, as fate/facebook would have it, I found a fundraising VENDOR SHOW (for a very good cause!) at my local community center that needed more sellers. Of course I offered to buy a table (the price & location were perfect!) So Saturday I threw together a raffle basket, set up my table, and sold a few books! alongside jewelry, bag, makeup, and food purveyors. It was awesome! And I even won one of the raffles! Woot! Here's my basket...
- But that's not all! I also went out for the evening with my husband and some friends to another fundraiser party - the high school's Baseball Bash.
- And during the spare moments, I'm avidly working on the rough draft of CRADLE ROCK (sequel to Broken Branch Falls) - Don't tell anyone, but I might get to finish it and keep track of my own little NANO! Shh! I don't want to jinx it!
And saving the best for last is what I do - check out Cathrina's hot new cover!!

"My lists help me economize my time and energy" - I like this Tara! I've never thought of it that way before :)
ReplyDeleteYou did have a busy week. Happy birthday to your son. Go Karts are a blast.
ReplyDeleteI make lists to keep my organized. My problem is everything takes longer than I expect.
ReplyDeleteI do lists to help me remember but also for motivation. I'm one of those people who loves checking things off my list.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your son.
A belated happy birthday to your son! Go karts and Dairy Queen sounds like my idea of a killer birthday party and I'm almost three times his age.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your son!
ReplyDeleteI'm horrible about to-do lists, probably something I inherited from my maternal grandma and her lackadaisical, casual attitude. It's at odds with my pride in being half-German and doing certain other things Germans are known for, like paying a lot of attention to details and making sure things are perfect,
You were a busy bee buzzing all over the place. I'm glad you had a chance to get things done by using those helpful hints you shared today.
ReplyDeleteAnd Happy Belated Birthday to your son!
You gave your son a great birthday. We have a women's event coming up soon and I need to make a basket as pretty as yours for the event.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your son. You had such a full week.
ReplyDeleteWow, you had an exciting week. Love the Wickedly they Dream cover :)
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I get more done in my busy weeks than in my dead weeks. I guess when I'm busy, it's easier to get things done.
ReplyDeleteSo, what's in the basket? happy birthday to your boy.
ReplyDeleteHi Tara .. happy birthday to the 11 year old and congrats to you two .. Mum and Dad. The karting sounds fun - as well as joining in all things community ...
ReplyDeleteI list make .. but still get muddled and rush .. cheers Hilary
Whooboy! You are busy. Someday, I hope to be able to make lists and stay organized too.
ReplyDeleteI love keeping lists, too, but still find it hard to keep everything balanced sometimes. I should probably start trying your prioritizing and maximizing techniques!
ReplyDeleteAnd whoa, it definitely sounds like you've been busy lately. That fundraising vendor show sounds like it was heaps of fun!
I need to write stuff down too because I will always forget something.
ReplyDeleteWow! Tons of awesomeness!!! Great celebrations! Happy Birthday to your son!
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats to Cathrina!
Happy Birthday to your young man.
ReplyDeleteI always wondered how you got it all done! I have to write everything down. But then I have been known to lose the list. Sigh.
I'm a list person, too. You're a busy lady, so I'm sure you need those lists.
