Just your normal, average Monday

No crisises, no screaming non-sleeping baby, no winter storm warning in effect. It's just a typical, boring old Monday morning. Is that why I'm finding it hard to get motivated to do anything!? I think my next 3-week habit to form will be to write a list either every evening (for the next day) or the morning of things that need to get done that day. The list could be short (3 items: clean the bathroom, go running, do a load of laundry) or a long one, but I'm such a big fan of lists, I think it'll help me feel as if I've accomplished something that day. And I so have to stay away from books! I'm re-reading Shantaram. 900+ pages and I could just ignore everything and sit and read it all day. Not a good idea. So, dare I add another new habit to form before I've mastered this one? I mean, I'm not even a week into this habit. How about I make it a non-mandatory habit (voluntary, right?) and just make my list for today and get everything done while the little one is sleeping. I think it's a brilliant idea. If I wake up in the morning having had a horrible night's sleep, I can make a short list and I'll feel good for accomplishing anything. If I wake up feeling fantastic and ready to take on the world, I can put some more meaty things on my list and again, feel like I've accomplished a lot. It's a brilliant idea! Maybe I'll market it! Okay, here's my list for today. 1) Call Costco and order contacts 2) Do a load of laundry 3) Do an hour of spinning 4) Juice some veggies There. #1 shoud take no time at all which is why I put four on there. I can throw number 2 in right now while I'm on the phone with number one and I'm halfway there. Woohoo! Monday's looking sunnier already.
