Managing Weekly Tasks (for Overly Committed, Perfectionist, Somewhat Structured Creatives) - When I Grow Up

Managing Weekly Tasks (for Overly Committed, Perfectionist, Somewhat Structured Creatives) - When I Grow Up You can buy this pad, along with a lot of other snarky organizational tools, at Knock Knock. By now youve had a whole week to ingest/digest/implement my genius/crazy/complicated time management system. Again, I beg of/implore/ask/plead with you to comment about it, as it would be so beneficial to me and society in general. And yes, Ive finally lost it. Part 2 of my time management system involves a weekly checklist, which I have sillily titled Check Yoself B4 U Reck Yoself, because Im a weirdo and also a fan of the Ice Cube song that contains those very intelligent lyrics. This checklist includes the weekly calls I have to make, blogs I have to write, and chores I have to do. The columns are easy: Task M (Date) Tu (Date) W (Date) Th (Date) F (Date) Sa (Date) Su (Date) wk of (Dates) wk of (Dates) and so on Itll be clear once you look at it: Then, highlight the box in each row that corresponds to the day you want to do the task. For example, Motivation Mondays goes up every Monday (confusing, I know). So, I highlight the box for Monday, and move on from there. Like this: When Ive done it, I check it off with a nice big X. If I only have to do it once, I then put a little smiley face in the box for that week. Once you start using this for a while and the weeks add up, its easy to see whats getting done and whats not and you can figure out why. Are you trying to do too much? Is there a reason youre procrastinating on one certain task? Im also going to figure out a celebration for myself when I get a certain amount of smiley faces. Yes, grown ups do that! If theres a one-off task that I need to do on a certain day, Ill add that to the end of the list italicize it, so I know itll be wiped clean once its done. The end result looks like this: If you want to see this checklist for yourself instead of in these distorted images, check it out along with Michelle Master Tasker here. So, whaddya think? Madness? Brilliance? Would love/jump up down/be thrilled to get your comments!
