Day 7: Crossing Off Another 2 Jobs

 

Today is the day my niece is coming over, and we are changing the wheels on the BBQ, and taking down the dog run in the back paddock. We'll also be having a BBQ, so I'll have to make garlic potatoes for my sister.

I'll get out early and do a stint in the back paddock. I'll also do more after everyone goes home, or if they annoy me while they are here at the house. I'll let my daughter entertain...LOL. Though while my niece is here, we'll make a plan to chainsaw up the one tree that is in my way of getting the bottom tier of the top drive completed.

Seven days into 2026, and I've already marked off a heap of stuff on my to do list. I just made up my mind this is the year I tell myself I can accomplish anything. I'm not taking no for an answer (not from myself I mean). Hopefully, the mindset and the momentum last throughout the whole year.

I'm giving myself little goals throughout the year... making it easier to achieve them. That's why I chose to do the hardest one first and I'm already almost halfway through it, by the end of this week, I'll be a little over halfway.  

Being the list lady that I am. I have made charts for everything just to keep myself on track. I have them for the following:

* Get shit done this week list
* Grocery List (because I want to see how much our spending changes)
* Food intake list (making sure I eat)
* Weight & Measurement Chart
* Yardwork Chart (keeping track of hours I'm working and what I'm doing)
* To buy List (household)
* To buy List (presents = Birthdays, Easter, Christmas)
* My chore chart
* Grandkids chore chart
* Budget
* Savings
* Debt pay down

I find I work better when I have a visual/physical thing in my hands that I can mark off and see that stuff is happening. This method might not work for everyone, but it works for me and that's all that matters.

Until tomorrow, remember: True friends are like diamonds, precious and rare. Fake friends are like autumn leaves and found everywhere.
