My To Do List


I write a To Do list for myself every day. It helps me get what I need to get done, done.
Today's To Do list is a little extra long. See this is what happens when I don't get my To Do list done from a few days ago...the To Do's pile up pretty fast.
It's a punishment for not doing what you were suppose to be doing in the past few days :P Not checking many things off my list.
So today my list is extra long...think I learned my lesson? Hopefully :)

Lists are a good thing to have! It helps your day to be productive and purposeful! You just have to be careful with a To Do list.
First:

be careful that your list doesn't enslave you! If you don't get everything done on the list it's not the end of the world! Don't be stressful with it because then it becomes more about checking it off the list instead of learning from it or applying whatever your doing to your life.

If I make a To Do list with my school and get all stressed about just getting it done I'm not going to be learning anything I'm just going to be checking it off of the list. Not a good idea.

Second:
be careful of being lazy with your list of things to do. Don't put it on tomorrow's list. Be as diligent as possible in your work. Make it a goal to get it all done. Don't be lazy about it.

Be like Jesus. Go about your Father's work. If what you do is for the glory of God than that's all that matters. Putting it all down on a list will help you. Be diligent but don't get stressful about it.
Make sure that the things you put on your list is for God's glory!
God Bless,

Don't forget the last part of that, since it's the most important. ;)<3 ya girl!!! :D btw, yes, the picture is sooo amazing. ;D

  4. I have been thinking over To Do's a lot lately, too! Persevering in those long lists will make the coming days easier and open for other responsibilities! I admire your gumption to at least write a list out! It seems more would get accomplished that way! :) (I love that you put the cute pic right above the part on becoming TOO stressed!)
