Chatting to my brother at the weekend who was concened he hadn’t ‘achieved’ a lot during the weekend and he felt a bit guilty.

I recognised the feeling – if I don’t do everything I set out to do, it can be a bit disappointing.

I do have a to do list, which is a wonderful thing.

But it’s almost as if by the time something makes it onto the list, it becomes an obilgation, a chore = no fun.

Then, getting round to looking at the list turns into a chore in itself.

My wise friend Elaine mentioned looking at the outcome in order to motivate the action.

I thought about the letters that I’m going to get back from my friends once I’ve written to them.

Think that bit of advice did the trick. I’ll meander around some stationary shops today…

Leo has done a lovely simple post on getting things done.
