Even hotter today than yesterday, and going to continue.
√ 1) Check with cleaning woman about extra air conditioner that she has said she'll give me - although the installation might be fairly expensive. √ 2) Lesson at Apple store (air-conditioned - YAY!). √ 3) Private lesson (not air-conditioned - boo). √ 4) Rehearsal (air-conditioned - YAY!).
clean all the foam chips and polystyrene beads out of the washing machine - some of the Teddys did not survive bathtime :( Body Conditioning class Supervise driveway gate restoration (if the guys turn up) Have coffee with Energy Buddy again (if she gets finished with errands quickly)

CA - house just needs some TLC and maintenance that I've neglected and now I am motivated to work thru the job list faster than planned. Had planned one task per month - knocking them off quickly now!
Disaster averted last night - thought I had taken Rump Steak out of the freezer - turned out to be Goulash - so we had Omlettes with veg on the side - since I didn't make a fuss, everyone ate as if it was my intention :)
Sunday 29 August
- Laze around reading sportsman's autobiography - Go to Sports Store to look for Scuba accessories - Find all the Teddy Bears and soft toys - stuff them into washing machine ready to go to "disadvantaged children" somewhere - my 33yr old DS gave permission to deal with his toys :)) - Continue decluttering and resting aching muscles

Sheila - I'm sure you won't have the same problem with “roaming.” On my cell phone, even though I have had roaming on in the past, I only paid when I actually made a call (2-3 minutes). On my iPad, apparently it was “roaming” the entire time, even when I was just listening to music. I'm still trying to get it straightened out.
√ 1) Wash clothes. 2) Do more paper decluttering. 3) Highlight music for Lobby Concert, and study Mahler for tomorrow's rehearsal. 4) Finish reading any email from this week and discard or file.
Tuesday: 1. Work on getting home computer is good working order again 2. Read in Zen book 3. Water aerobics after work 4. Fold 5 pieces of clean laundry
Friday: 1. Walk around Capitol Park for today's exercise 2. Load & run dishwasher 3. Costco after work 4. Write & post book review

Friday 20 August OUCH CA - that's horrifying! hoping my roaming wasnt like that!! I set my BlackBerry NOT to push emails - only get texts and calls and able to send texts. Also closed off SP notices so my computer time would be reduced! And paid R500 into the account before I went so that I wouldn't get such a shock
Aqua Aerobics NIA Class More decluttering and prepping for Brazilian student arrival Catch up with friends
Maybe, just maybe, if SP is working properly put up a blog and pix of Scuba :)

Didn't get much accomplished Thursday except for teaching 2 classes because still recovering from shock of about $1,000 because I had “roaming” turned on for my iPad while I was overseas - even though I wasn't able to use the Internet and barely got any Mail.
√ 1) Go to bank to get new bank card. [Simple since now is done all by machine - 3 minutes instead of 15-20.] √ 2) Go to Apple store to learn more about “roaming” policy. [The person I talked to was very kind and sympathetic, and also astounded at my bill since I hadn't been able to access Maps, the Internet, iTunes, and Mail most of the time.] - 3) Highlight music and start to learn Mahler (for Sunday's rehearsal). [GOT to do this on Saturday!] √ 4) Do more paper decluttering. [Included adding recipes, from scraps of paper I've had, to SparkPeople - making it much more easily accessible.]

√ BONUS: Was able to upload video of festival dancing!
√ 1) Wash clothes. √ 2) Write questions for “Anne of Green Gables.” - 3) Start on large bag of old computer “stuff” to be tossed, such as old “floppies.” - But got lots of questions done on “Anne.” √ 4) Eat lots of fruit and veggies - and NOTHING with sugar! - and didn't eat anything after 7 p.m.
Aspenhugger - Got it! Posting here regularly helps me because, if it's not on my list and doesn't get done, well, it's not on my list and it didn't get done!
Thursday, August 12th
√ 1) Finish slideshow of trip to Italy. √ 2) Wash sheets. √ 3) Teach private classes, a.m. and p.m. (and take slideshow). √ 4) Do bookkeeping, listing recent expenses on Numbers (Apple) and Excel.
I'm not beating myself up exactly, I'm just staring at how I overload my life on a constant basis!
1. Get agenda done & e-mailed√ 2. Get e-mails re membership & outings sent√ 3. Trader Joes 4. Cat food
All of them are MUST DO TODAY things, so hopefully I'll score 100% today!

Sunday, August 1st
√ 1) Continue unpacking. √ 2) Continue washing clothes. - 3) Email former class about reunion at end of month. - 4) Write more questions for “Anne of Green Gables” and contact h.s. student about next lesson.
Didn't accomplish all but got lots of photos from my trip uploaded and compliments on them.
Every day make a "to-do list." A Microsoft CEO shared with his employees his secret to success. He said every day he'd make a to-do list topped with 4 things that he REALLY wanted to get done. Then he'd throw away the rest of the list. If Microsoft's CEO can accomplish only 4 things in a day, what makes you any different? Start prioritizing yourself and you'll get the most important things done. The rest can wait til another day to be in the top 4.
On this forum, feel free to post your "top 4" and how you are progressing. Let's get the most out of our days and start prioritizing the things we need to get done most!
