To Do or Not To Do...

That is the question!

So, in between moving totes from the garage to the basement and then shuffling through bills and budgets to then finding some time to eat, what great timing from Oprah! Okay, so many swear by Oprah and some others loath her (maybe out of jealousy, perhaps.. But we won't go there!). Either way, my O Magazine arrived in the mail today and on the cover, the headline reads "Your Ahhhh! Moment!"

Really? Seriously? I am supposed to find an "ahhh" moment in all of this? I can't... I have laundry to fold, dishes to do and I am sure that a shower should be in order. However, a few minutes of my time were well worth it!

In an article, time manager Julie Morgenstern, talks about "to do lists" and how to better manage them. Is this an oxymoron? Perhaps, but I should just read already... Do you get to the point where you write down 10 things and just cry? Well fear no more!

Her mock list included things like Kickboxing, calling someone, book flights for a trip (I wish), checking bills, reminders for other people and the list goes on and on...

Just a few of my faves:

• Stop worrying about reminding others to do things. If they are adults, then it's not your problem
• A good list includes connecting with at least one other person, which helps to keep you energized (this is the one that I have to work on the most)
• Never put off anything that could cost you money. Look for deals and then snag them when you can!
• Do something for yourself- whether it be physical, mental or spiritual. It doesn't have to cost alot of money or be a time-consuming, but will make you happy!

So I don't know about you but the first thing on my "to do" list is TO DO LIFE!

What do you do to manage your "to do" list???
