This Slice is a little related to yesterday’s post about Procrastination.

Sundays are usually filled with many jobs to do.  Mostly because I take Saturdays off and save all my jobs for Sunday!  Who am I kidding – Every day is filled with jobs to do, but Sunday’s just feel different.

Here was my list of Sunday Jobs:

• Laundry
• Gym
• Menu planning
• Food shopping
• Church
• Work on Report Cards
• Cooking

Here’s what I actually got done:

• Laundry (all of it including towels and sheets!!!) & put some of it away
• Searched on Pinterest for food ideas for the week
• Made a food shopping list
• Watched a “Fixer Upper” marathon on HGTV
• Played Word Crossy on my phone
• Made dinner in the Crock Pot
• Cuddled with my daughter (She was feeling mopey yesterday)
• Thought about report cards and wrote 2 comments (mostly)

At first, I thought I really didn’t get anything accomplished yesterday.  While I didn’t get to cross off all of the things on my list, seeing what I did do written down, actually makes me feel like I didn’t waste a whole day.  Yes, I let myself get distracted by T.V., internet, and games, but I also got to snuggle my girl.  I may not have gone food shopping, but we won’t starve.  I may not have gotten enough report cards done, but they’ll get done (they always do).  And, I also learned that writing down what I’ve done makes me realize that I’ve been productive, even if I veered off of my “To Do” list and procrastinated a tad bit!

I’m participating in the March Slice of Life Story Challenge!  Thank you to the team of writers at Two Writing Teachers for this wonderful writing community.  A place for us to grow together as writers.
