The New List

deaneToday I drew up a new list. This time there are 26 items on it. While that sounds more daunting than my previous list of 18, of which I barely completed half, it isn't. For one thing, this list covers the next four weeks. Even if we exclude working days that still leaves me eight days compared to just six for the previous list. More significantly, I've taken some of the big tasks from the old list and broken them up into several smaller ones on the new list, so that I get more opportunities to pat myself on the back along the way.
I think this list is a bit less challenging than the previous one, though not by much. To add to the challenge, I'm shooting to improve my completion rate from 57% of the items on the old list to at least 65% of those on the new one.
The first list did a good job of focussing my mind and energies to get long-outstanding tasks completed. I'm hoping that will continue with the new list.
