Getting things done

Lately I have been feeling like I am really unproductive and don't use my time wisely. A few weeks ago, I started a weekly cleaning schedule, and it has GREATLY helped me get things done and not feel so overwhelmed. However, I still waste very precious time on not very productive things (*cough* too much time on the internet *cough*). Today, I decided to kick my butt in gear and be thankful for the time I have - that I don't have to work a full time job, and that we don't have kids yet so I can use my time to help others.

So, today I would like to share my list of accomplished things!

• Made bed
  
• Sweeped all hard floors
• Vacuumed corners and baseboards
  
• Deodorized (sprinkled baking soda and let it sit) and vacuumed carpet
• Mopped all hard floors
• Soaked shower head in vinegar to remove all the nasty stuff that has been building up
  
• Caught up on e-mails/phone calls for work
• Updated household calendar
  
• Picked up clutter in office and bedroom
  
• Organized all recipes in recipe binder: put recipes in page protectors
• Cleaned out and reorganized home management binder
  
• Dusted all hard surfaces
• Wiped down mirrors
• Wiped bathroom and kitchen counters
• Made dinner for a good friend of mine that is a new mama: Baked bread, made lentil soup, baked chocolate chip cookies, made label tags and tied them on with ribbon to each item
  
• Made dinner for my husband and I: Eggplant Parmesan - served and cleaned up
  
• Had to sweep kitchen again
  
• Went to Goodwill and purchased: basket to put dinner for new mama in, new cloth napkins for our everyday use (7 new napkins for 2.75!), and 2 new Fall tea towels (.79 cents!)
• Dropped off food to new mama and held her beautiful new baby boy for a little bit
  
• Did dishes
• 1 load of laundry
• Looked over our budget with my husband
• Read a few new blogs and got some cool ideas for all kinds of stuff
• Looked up Christmas gift ideas
  
• And wrote this blog post!
• And it is still only 8:30pm

Okay, so I am sure there are those of you out there that are thinking that this is nothing, but I feel great about it... so, don't burst my bubble!

Thanks for letting me get that out! Now for some quality time with my dear sweet husband!
