I am a glutton for lists haha they help me organize my mind. and I only like hand-writting them. typing them up just doesn't have the same feel :(

i'm good with lists but not with schedules. i make thousands of them, but never use them. blah.

i actually set my timer and did 15 min of cleaning today. i'm so proud of myself >.< and it's only taken me what, three weeks of reading flylady to actually use some of it? lol
