Recently though, something caused me to conjure back that memory, and I've put it back into practice. It works. I truly do feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in getting just one thing completed each day. I’m not a week into this yet, but so far I've:
- Scoured the bathrooms, including washing the baseboards and woodwork
- Cleaned the stovetop
- Washed the baseboard in the foyer and living room
- Dusted and polished the old piano
- Rotated the mattress on the bed
What are your tricks and tips on getting things done? What gives you a sense of accomplishment?

Ooo, good timing. I've been reading the FLYlady's page and adapting her ideas to my schedule. I've discovered that if I start my day with productive activity, like doing dishes, cleaning counter tops, etc., I have a much better day. So, each morning I do a daily routine that takes about 15 - 20 minutes and mostly involves the kitchen, and then I do a single "big" task like organize the pantry or scrub the bathroom.
And you are so right about how good it feels.
Hi Sheryl,
I've always been a list maker, sometimes to my own detrement. I've been know to accomplish something that wasn't on the list but write it down, just so I can cross it off!
Having a list does help in getting something accomplished though and I usually keep one going if for no other reason but to remind myself that I did do at least one productive thing in a day.
Making a list of both small and larger tasks seems to work for me.
