Well today is about the mid-point of the month already. Doesn’t it seem like we just turned the page on a new year the other day? I have several things I wanted to get done this month.
What I have done so far:
- Cleaned out refrigerator
- Put away holiday decorations
- Shopped the white sales for linens
- Reviewed home and auto insurance policies
- Donated extra gifts received at Christmas
- Started a savings account for this year’s holidays
Now, my biggest distraction (non-social media related) is the new season of TV shows. I love Property Brothers, Scandal, Nashville and now The Carrie Diaries. They are welcome distractions and I enjoy all of them. I usually record them so that I can skim through the commercials when I sit down to watch, which actually saves a lot of time.
What is still on my list:
- Send a cookie care package to my son (I am baking right now)
- Prepare tax records for accountant (sigh, not a favorite task)
- Plan a Superbowl Party (I am more about the food and people than the game)
- Reorganize home office (really more of a desk, I will be posting on this one later this month)
What is on your to do list this month? I hope that you have entering this giveaway on your list. I would love for one of my readers to win. To read more about how I strive to be productive, read my post on productivity.

I need to get a photo submitted for my graduating daughter’s tribute in the yearbook. I need to get her birthday present ordered. I need to order her graduation supplies. I need to get her dance things paid off. I need to get my other daughter registered for her week away this summer. I need to get two cars fixed. All of the big to dos on my list have to do with money. It’s kind of stressing me out. Guess I better suck it up and get on it. Ugh.
It looks like you’ve had a very productive month already. Way to go!
Stopping by from SITS.

Oh Robin that’s the worst isn’t it? I hope all ends up to be less than you anticipate. Good luck with your list!

I really need to organize closets and clean up the basement. There is lots of stuff down there I need to get donated.
Stopping by from SITS!
Organizedisland says
I hear you on the closets. My closet is my toughest area. Good luck with your endeavors & thank you for stopping by the island!
Megan Blogs says
I meant to shop for linens in the after-holiday sales, where did the time fly? Oh well, July 4th sale it is!
Organizedisland says
LOL! Yes, you are just early for those! Thanks for stopping by Megan.

I am so impressed. I haven’t even gotten around to making my list of things to do for January yet…so none of them are done. I’ll have to get on that. Immediately!! (how can it be the middle of the month already??)
Organizedisland says
I know – right? It’s good to relax after the holidays, but I am amazed how fast time flies.

LOL, when I saw the title of this post in triberr, I was expecting list of activities happenign around town… so I was caught off guard when I began reading… but then it made me laugh a little 😉
and seriously, if you’re sending care packages to your kids off in college you are the best mom ever… 😉 I always wanted one of those sent my way in college.
Organizedisland says

That’s a great list. This month I’ve got to get back into school mode since school starts next week!! I’d like to move some furniture downstairs, post some boxes of books on eBay, and start exercising before the month is over!
Organizedisland says
Yes exercising is on my list too. Good luck with your tasks. I love that you are recycling your books.
