Today I decided to write a to-do list but backwards.

I started to write a to-do list for today and really got discouraged, looking at all of the things that I was trying to fit into about 12 hours seemed unrealistic! Then it hit me... I threw away the To-Do list and started to write down what I did accomplish-- my "I DID LIST"

So here it is at 11:30pm... my I DID LIST
<ul>
	<li>10 minutes of prayer and devotional time</li>
	<li>Fed and clothed the kids</li>
	<li>Washed all the dishes</li>
	<li>Wiped counters down</li>
	<li>Pruned the roses</li>
	<li>Picked peas and beans</li>
	<li>Did 1 load laundry</li>
	<li>Vacuumed Downstairs</li>
	<li>Sat down with Hubby to plan vacation and go over the next 3 months calendars.</li>
	<li>Picked a date for Little Guy's 1st birthday.</li>
	<li>Wrote checklist for beach vacation</li>
	<li>Entered receipts into Pear Budget</li>
	<li>Worked on Budget</li>
	<li>Went to target (diapers, wipes, cheap Eggo's and some other bargains!)</li>
	<li>Washed 2nd load of laundry
Inventoried our deep freezer and stockpile in the basement (more on this later!)</li>
	<li>Typed up inventories</li>
	<li>Took a shower</li>
</ul>
Now I didn't write down every little thing like playing with the kids or the potty incident. But you get the idea I hope.

It is so encouraging to look back and see everything I accomplished today.

This works for me and I might keep doing this when I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I like to see progress,  I know there is some special term for this but hey it's 11:30 and I've done a lot today so I'm off to bed!
