I got a Booklover's desktop calendar for Christmas. Yesterday I had a brilliant idea. Usually I write my daily to-do list in a little notebook or on a scrap of paper. But after seeing the lovely emptiness of the back of a calendar page, I'm using those. Tear off yesterday's page, turn it over, write my list, and toss it at the end of the day.
Supposedly having a writing meeting this Saturday. Haven't heard confirmations from anyone though. Hopefully someone shows up.
Mary, you are such an inspiration! I can't believe how much you've accomplished just since starting this blog.
ReplyDeleteAnd I like your recycling idea for your to-do list. Very green. :)
