Happy Fall!

Why is it that when I go to do a quick photoshoot the date stamping option is turned on? And why do I not see this until the pictures are taken? And, why is it that I still don't know how it's turned on and off in the first place? Oh, well. Beautiful day + beautiful kids (am I impartial?) = time for pictures!

Happy Fall!

My camera lens was dirty too, but again, oh, well!

Cute kids negate lots of things, right?

Yum! or should I say, Yuck!

Yeah, yeah, messy background, I know...but look at that face!

To-Do Lists

S sent the following link to me today (with a kiss!).

I replied the following after pulling up the website:

"It's not about ideas. It's about making ideas happen."

WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION THIS PLACE TO ME SOONER? ;)

:}{:

p.s. I assume it's because you just stumbled across it yourself, but, ya know....

I then actually read the thing and wrote to him again:

Nice. It's just like the idea of a "stubby list" and the addition I included about having another list next to the first for notes for day 2. I like the post-it note idea because it also sticks to anything (but without my needing to roll up balls of sticky-tack and stick'em on the paper and then stick the paper to the cabinet, etc.) and the next day list is right there attached to the first list. Small, so easy to carry with. Ha....there's the problem, though. Small. Easy to carry with. Likely to get lost. Hmm....well, I guess it's just another way to reach the same goal, and as I often jump from one method to another (new and thus exciting method), maybe if I bounce between the two I'll get something done, eh?

;)

Thanks again for emailing it to me!

*"Stubby List" is an idea from the book ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize your Life where you write a short list of the most important things you need to do during the day. To make it ADD-friendly, you use a marker to write the list in nice, loud, large letters. That way, I've found, the list shouts at me from where I sticky-tacked it to my kitchen cabinet every time I walk past. That is, until I've started igoring it, as I started to do within a week, so as I mentioned to S, maybe this will be a good "side" technique for me to move on to whenever I find that first technique isn't working. It's kinda like how I used to switch between my morning alarm clock's alarm and radio settings. Once I started sleeping in even if the radio turned on, I'd set the alarm to buzz and wake me up--and vice versa.

What's your fav way to manage your to-dos?
