Isn't that sooooooo frustrating when that happens???

Maybe the problem isn't that you are making to do lists, but not being realistic in what you feel you can or should accomplish?? When I make lists now (and this took me a long time to get to this point), I try to work in time for incidentals that come up throughout the day/night. I try hard to say, ok, if I can't get to all of this today, which thing can I really do tomorrow if need be?

I got creative one morning and made a list of things I'm not going to do today list Things To Do Today It was fun (10 items) and I even put some things on there that had been on my to-do lists but which I kept postponing. Getting a little "honest" with myself :-)
