the tiny but mighty to-do list - august 5th

Dale (my husband) and I spend every Sunday night writing out our Tiny but Mighty To-Do List. These are tasks we can accomplish on the weeknights that take anywhere between 5-10 minutes. Most of you probably know these as the those last 5% items to get done.

We've found gathering our thoughts Sunday night helps set the tone of the week for us. There are a couple of rules that we've established when making our list:

1. The list is finished Sunday night. We do not add to it. The idea is to actually accomplish what we've written done, not to bog ourselves with more work.
2. We don't expect to get every single item done, but we make a great attempt to do so. Whatever doesn't get done rolls into the next week. This list isn't about punishing ourselves.

So what does our list look like this week?

1. Set up PS4
2. Cable Management in the basement
3. Spray Ground Control
4. Spray Home Defense
5. Clean up the garage work bench
6. Fix our Wemo for our TV
7. Facebook Marketplace Items
8. Fill our whiskey barrel with water
9. Set up the firestick on our Gym TV
10. Organize my bathroom vanity
11. Remove the curtain rod in the office

This may look like a lot, but now that we've established this list for a few weeks, we know what's in scope and what is out. Also if all these items take 10 minutes, we're looking at 2 hours of work over the workweek. Oh, and there's two of us so that also helps manage the work load.

What are your thoughts? Do you keep a to-do list going during the week?
