I get so overwhelmed that I wind up doing nothing because I know I can't get it all done at once - oh what a vicious cycle. Chipping away at the list by taking an allotted amount of time each day to do just ONE THING is a great idea!

Thanks for the suggestion.<br /><br />I recently posted on this topic too with my new mantra "stop starting and starting finishing" {to get more done}.

I recently shared before pics of my soon to be facelifted bathroom. I cringed when I put them on there. We honestly lived with a sheet of posterboard (I didn't show this one) attached to our ceiling for, gulp, 7 years! It's amazing how easily we can become blind to things that nag us. I love your 45 minute a day idea and may have to try it myself. <br /><br />I'm new to your blog and so happy to have come across it.
