Aloha Friday #4

I've been tired this week - we took Paige to a branch of Boston's Children's Hospital on Monday to try and get to the heart of her sleeping issues. The result is a plan that starts with me going to bed with her and spending the night in her room. I've been meaning to blog about it, but right now most of my time without Paige is when I'm at work.

In the meantime, I thought I'd take it easy today (I'm home sick) and participate in Aloha Friday.



My question this week is stems from the fact that I look at a lot of blogs, books, and magazines, and being a visual person, I come up with tons of crafty projects I want to try, or things I'd like to do with Paige, or recipes to make. However, I don't know how to best organize what I want to do, and then I can't figure out how to make time for any of it, or how to decide what to do when. Does anyone see my perfectionism sneaking in here?

So my question is, How do you keep track of all the projects you'd like to try, and how do you decide what to try when? I've been trying to decide if I should have some sort of "To Do" list or something. I guess I could use your organizational help here!

For more Aloha Friday, go to An Island Life.

    I make a list of things I would like to make, then change it as my taste evolves.

    I try to organize by season/holiday as they do seem to be put out that way. Then I choose which I really want to do @ the time.

    Have fun & good luck w/ those sleeping issues. Hopefully this will soon be a thing of the past!

    I'm a homeschool mom so my job is to be organized. I have a calendar that I will sit down and each month write on what I would like to try and do.

    When I have a lot to do, I make a to do list. Then I look at it and prioritize it.

    I save everything online. So, I either have it bookmarked or I have a to do list online.

    To Do lists - my problem is that I have too many of them. :-)

    I am completely overwhelmed by stuff I want to try. I try to make lists, which just leaves me overwhelmed with lists. :)

    I keep a spiral notebook on my kitchen hutch. Reading it from front to back is blogs I like, things I want to add to my blog, ideas I want to try/make with my boys. Reading it from back to front is my huge to do list. Everytime I sit in front of the computer it is there to jot things down.
