Do One Thing Today

052208_onething.jpgSometimes the smallest things make the biggest difference. Choose something to do today that you've been putting off. Do you have a bag of donations in your trunk that you've been meaning to drop off since february? A hole to patch in the bathroom, artwork that's leaning against the wall in the hall?

 
 

If you need help remembering what your one thing is today, we love these sticky notes that we saw at the Stationary Show made by Pretty Bitter a company specializing in stationary that 'pushes the envelope'. We love their cheeky cards and their Man Notes.

That's funny ... this weekend I'd declared Finish Stuff Up Weekend ... touch up hall trim, finish organizing hall closet, clean out fridge, etc.

Any idea when will these be available for purchase? I didn't see them on their website.

A friend of a friend offered up a small motto which I try to adhere to: Do three nice things for your home every day. That may include things as large as painting a room, or as small as lining up the shoes in the hallway; either way, three nice things seems to me an achievable goal.

Today I will waste a new sheet of paper for which I could have substituted for a perfectly usable piece of scrap paper.

kimg924- it's easy to be overwhelmed sometimes, to list one thing and aim to do it tends to add momentum and accomplish more than one thing.

Today, I bought a drill and some other basic tools. Additionally, today I walked around Target and didn't buy anything! That's because I'm not buying any accessories or pretending I need anything there until I restore my home to normal cleanliness and decide where things are really going to end up after the purge and rearrange. I'm kind of in a flux of personal taste, and it's great!

(I don't need to write these things down, either, so this to-do list pad is conceptual).
