I think the one-item...Definitely yay for tomatoes!<br /><br />I think the one-item, flexible approach fits my working style a lot better than a highly structured checklist. I tend to work at things indirectly. After 30 minutes, I need to do something else to consider the progress of the main project. Then after the diversion, I'm ready to tackle it again for awhile. Lather rinse repeat until the main item is done. I know that I probably would drive narrowly focused task tacklers bananas, but thankfully I don't have work as a team. My dysfunction can function all by itself!

I've had too many ...I like this thinking a lot. I've had too many of those aimless weekends. We spent most of our project time this weekend on the garden, too. (We planted tomatoes! Feeling awfully proud of us...) While I was out there, I thought of about 10 other garden things to do. All of them are small, in themselves. Sometimes, it is those small, easy things that never get done. They seem too unimportant in the face of the big things (which, also don't get done, but for the opposite reason: not enough time for a big project). But if I could think of them all as part of a larger "fix up the garden" project, I think I'd be more inclined to do them. Appreciate this food for thought.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04227597091783239454noreply@blogger.com
