I recently painted an unused door with chalkboard paint and have been using it primarily as a list spot.  I’m starting to regret that particular use of the space.  Here are a few of the things  posted on it for my day off tomorrow:

• buy work pants that actually fit
• buy lawn mower and edger
• use lawn mower and edger
• paint upstairs ceiling
• clean house
• grocery shopping
• replace lettuce plants
• run
• ironing
• dry cleaner’s
• thank you notes
• mail b-day present to J
• friend date at 6

Can you see how getting those things done in 14 hours might be problematic?  Maybe it isn’t critical that I replace my lettuce plants.  And I’ve made it for the last year without work pants that fit, what’s another week?

Here’s the list of things I expect to get done tomorrow:

• buy lawn mower and edger
• look at upstairs ceiling while thinking about painting it
• minimal grocery shopping (milk and cereal)
• run
• friend date at 6

You don’t need an entire door-sized chalkboard to write that down, now do you?!
