Outlines saved my sanity...

Since school let out my brain has been going 100 miles a minute. The first week the kids were still in school and I filled the week with cleaning, shopping, breakfast, and friends. I LOVED it! The week flew by and I felt like I got SO much done (not so much on the Christmas shopping spectrum though) and had SO much energy. It was ahmazing. Because the house had got tossed on the backburner during school it could've easily been overwhelming. Fortunately partly through my practice creating outlines and writing papers with English and partly from having to write down and then prioritize all my homework when I got overwhelmed, I was able to come up with a simple system to get it all done quickly and in one day. I didn't get to the piles of paper, but I had it looking spic and span with hardly any effort. And I've been using the simple outline system for getting other things done, quickly and simply taking care of the highest priorities and getting the job DONE. My outline system?

I even used a simple outline for accomplishing my blog goals today:

So simple. And ta-dah. It's DONE. After that, I can add to it as I please, or not, since the main part is DONE. Did I say DONE? Yay!
