Try It Now: Make an Activity Inventory Sheet

Bookmark this page, and go get a pen, a piece of paper, and your kitchen timer. Wind up the clock for five minutes. Write the header “Activity Inventory” at the top of the sheet and start to think about activities you need to do at home. Write down all of them, whether they are important or not. Do not worry about order or priority. Don’t write what to do. Write how things will be when the activity is completed. For example:

1. Living room tidy

2. Cookbook ordered

3. Thea emailed
