So welcome to the new year, 2022. This is my first post using my new daily list to drive my day. Luckily it was a holiday because it has taken most of the day to complete half the list. As of this writing I still have a number of items left to complete, but I should be able to finish everything.
Here are the outliers of the day. First off my morning exercise took less than 45 minutes, but also more, since Liz and I both worked on our own program for half of the time and shared a program for the other half. My program only got half completed since I am so out of shape, but I have a goal now; to finish the whole thing. Our lunch walk was really enjoyable, and longer than 30 minutes. We had a good chat about my list and even found a couple of missing items.
Liz and I even took 4 hours to stream some board games on our twitch channel, and we were super surprised when another streamer sent his entire stream to raid us. We peaked at 111 viewers, which is about 111 times higher than our usual stream. It filled us with much joy.
My biggest struggle was keeping the list in mind throughout the day, so I plan to find some way to have it close by and editable so I can check off throughout the day. Either as an app on my phone or a small daily journal by my desk or on the coffee table.
Here is the updated Daily To-Do List:
- Brush teeth (twice)
- Floss
- Clean the litter box (twice)
- Feed the cat (twice)
- Shower
- Exercise (45 minutes)
- Walk (30 minutes)
- Make and eat breakfast
- Make and eat lunch
- Update spending spreadsheet
- Dance (10 minutes)
- Read 1 chapter of the Bible
- Read 10+ pages of a book
- Tidy tables
- Make the bed
- Time track all work time
- No desserts or sugary snacks
- Do the dishes (twice)
- Write a blog post
- Take an interesting photo
- Write 100+ words
- French practice (15 minutes)
- Scan 10 documents or photos
- Write one thank you card (new)
- Daily devotional with Liz (new)
- Rename and organize 20 scanned documents (new)
- Bed by 11 pm (new)
The four new items were added as a part of our walk today. I am really enjoying having a structure to the day, even if I get to make the structure up as I go along. Biggest hurdle right now is my digital storage box with all the scanned documents is misbehaving so I was unable to rename any files today. By the time this is posted I will have completed everything on the list except for that task and bedtime teeth cleaning, but I will do that before bed.
