I made a list of things I thought I could do in 25 minute increments, and I would just set the timer, work on a task, and when the bell rang, that was that. If the task wasn't done, I could set the timer for another 25 minutes or just give myslef permission to leave it until I had a bit more energy. Suffice it to say, it hasn't quite panned out the way I wanted it to. The timer is still sitting on top of the microwave. I wonder how long it would take me to clean that little clock? <br /><br />Beautiful poem!

I too have found myself doing that which needs to be done but has not yet made it to my to-do list at 10 o'clock at night and than adding it to my to-do list just so I can scratch it off. Thanks so much for sharing.
