Day 1 Making the List

So I figured I should try to make a list that includes things that might be harder for me to complete as well as things that would be easier. That way I don't stack the deck against myself. So here is what I'm going to start off with.

1. Start a new blog and write a post in it for the week
2. Email Onshin and Richard about ordination discernment
3. Email Sangha about ticket
4. Call Angela about amends
5. Make easy way to display to do list so I won't forget about it
6. Finish painting Jizo statues from Sesshin
7. Work on a song
8. Make a soul collage
9. Practice my marimba part
10. Book Xmas flight

So I of course did the first one already, but I figured this would give me a good boost to get me going. I also thought about categorizing my list in some way and here is what I came up with.

A= Hare: the sooner I do it the better
B= Trex: It's better I don't wait to long, but it's not very time sensitive
C= Tortise: It's not time sensitive at all

+ = Very important
= = Somewhat important
- = not important to frivoulous

So here is what my list looks like now
1. Start a new blog and write a post in it for the week A=
2. Email Onshin and Richard about ordination discernment B=
3. Email Sangha about ticket A+
4. Call Angela about amends B+
5. Make easy way to display to do list so I won't forget about it B=
6. Finish painting Jizo statues from Sesshin B-
7. Work on a song C-
8. Make a soul collage C-
9. Practice my marimba part A+
10. Book Xmas flight A+

So now when I look at my list I can easily see what I need to do and then prioritize what I should work on today.

So that's just a peek into my process we'll see how it goes from here.
