With all the free time I had this weekend as I was parked on the couch while my foot magically healed itself, I found a blog, A Collection of Thoughts, where the lady said that the clutter and little projects in her house was driving her crazy. Hey, I thought, “Me too!” She proposed a September Sort-It solution. She said to make a list of 30 things that have been nagging you to do for a while or that you have been putting off. They can be quick and easy things that may take 10 minutes, or longer projects that may take a day or two to finish. I thought, “Hey, I could do that!” I started making my list, got to about 10 and got stuck. I came back to a while later, and then the ideas just started flowing as I looked around my house and remembered all the things that I have been wanting to do. I don’t know that I will get all 30 of the things on my list done in September, especially with us out of town for UA football games. But, I will make a great effort to cross off as many as I can. So, who else wants to play? Do you have list that you make and September Sort-It? Here is mine:
