every morning when i make my tea, i try to decide what kind of a day it will be and i choose my mug accordingly. is it a manila morning? a singapore morning? perhaps seattle? or vancouver? often it's a chicago morning, since i lived there for a couple of years, i have a soft spot for that mug. this morning, it felt like a london monday.or at least i want it to be a london monday. london is bustling with people who appear to have somewhere to be. it's extremely multicultural. it seems creative and vibrant if you look around you at the diversity of architecture. it's fairly humming with activity. people are getting things done, that's clear. on top of it, you can get an excellent curry.
this is how i want my day (and my week for that matter) to go...i want to move with purpose from one task to the next, really getting things done, fairly plowing through my to do list:
- questionnaire for LNG World Shipping
- finish up workshop article
- human element forum plans
- human element forum timeline
- emails
- invoicing
- run errands
- presents for Owen & Finn
- start packing Sabin's suitcase
- dishes
- finish laundry
- hang shelves
- tidy up bedroom
- invitations to summer party
- post office
- rental car
- photograph earrings
- post earrings on etsy
- plane tickets to oslo for next week
- business lunches (wednesday & thursday)
so you can see, i need it to be not only a london monday, but a london week. i'd better start with a shower...

I feel absolutely breathless reading your to do list.
And tell me that your work area always looks sooooo - can't think of word, it just looks kaotically organized, is that possible?? B
hi barb--chaotically organized, that's a very nice way of putting it! you're probably too polite!! it was much worse before i got the new computer and had to move everything.
of course, with such a long list to do, i procrastinated and have spent over an hour organizing and straightening. typical. but maybe it takes that occasionally--uncluttering the mind along with the space. it seems to have worked, i've breezed through about half of the list already!
Hi Julie, I hope you didn't take offense to my remark, I just love how your tabletop looks ... like it is loved and used. My kind of room. Barb
i definitely did NOT take offense. :-)
Aren't lists just the most wonderful things EVER? If I made a list of wonderful things, I'd have to list lists. That's how wonderful they are.

i'm with you...i don't know what i'd do without lists. my dad once teased me that he thought it was a shame there was no way to major in list-making when i was having trouble choosing a major. :-) i surely would have done so if i could have. i'd hate to think how disorganized i'd be without them!
