Tasks, that is. Tasks of varying importance and urgency.
Give them to me, and let’s screen them now.
A’s are for my most urgent. For example you can’t get
on a plane without your passport. So start looking for where you kept it safe, before
the day of your trip (knowing that it’s somewhere in the house is just not good
enough!).
B’s are for my get to quickly, before they jump into
the A list. Gather with presence of mind, all the bits and pieces that you will
need to start your project (famous cookie recipe, pattern for quilt, research
for a piece you’re writing, nuts and bolts for building a deck)
C’s are for the things that can wait, they don’t have a
definite timeline, but they’re probably things you might like to get to.
Hole-punching my paperwork and setting a pile to be shred make me feel so
virtuous. So does alphabetizing my CDs, having only one page of emails, and
catching up on my recordings of a favourite TV show. Oh come on, we all have
our quirky side.
Now you might ask, what about the D through Zs? Well, I
believe that Life is way too short to get carried away, A B and C can usually
keep us running busy. Save D for downtime, E for entertainment, F for fun…
