4. Make a blog post about to do list
I like to do lists. Actually, I prefer not having them, but if I have stuff I need to do, I have come to really enjoy having it in list form. My biggest complaint about my igoogle to do list is that when I complete something on it, it immediately deletes. I like to keep my to do lists with the items crossed out on it, so I can see that I have actually accomplished something. Luckily enough, I have a large white board attached to my desk, and it works great for to do lists. While I was studying and taking finals in the weeks after Thanksgiving break last semester, I got a bit overwhelmed. I couldn’t deal with any “real-life tasks” I could only deal with school. So my to do list for “real-life tasks” grew pretty long, it stretched from the very top to the very bottom of the whiteboard.
Christmas break provided a wonderful three weeks of with very little to do. Sure, I still had a couple of to lists, but they were short, and kept in a small notebook, and even then, most of the items weren’t accomplished. But now I am back in the city, working and getting ready for school, and the to do lists are growing again. I have to do lists in 3 places, but I am holding off on putting one up on the white board for as long as possible. Maybe I am afraid of how long it will get.

I like lists too… hehe
I use the iGoogle to-do list as well it works great as a little reminder for me.
You now have better spam protection installed.
I read an editorial about to do list–the woman said that when she had to write “make to do list” on her to do list, she knew that she needed to make changes in her life. I’ve been trying to wean myself off them since then. Anyway, my palm pilot lets me “cross off” items without deleting them. love m
i feel your pain. at the end of last semester i had to write to do lists for things like “eat” and “sleep”. Sometimes those were the ones that got put off until the last minute. over break i refused to keep a to do list for anything and just made a mental note of things with a clause that said “if i get to it, i get to it”. i also caught up on that eating and sleeping.
good luck with this semester. i hope you don’t have to put the real-life stuff off too much.
