It’s To Do Tuesday!

I’m making to-do lists today. I love to make lists to keep me organized – and I love ticking off completed items even more! There is usually a post-it note with the day’s list of things to do stuck to my desk right by the keyboard. But what about days like today when everything is a bit overwhelming?

Well apparently, I’m not the only one that loves lists – I did a quick Google search on to-do lists and got over 25 BILLION results! Visual lists, priority lists, shareable lists – you name it, there’s a template or a process for it. But I’m not going to recommend anything – you do you and find what works. I like a post-it note – or several post-its for different task groups but that might not work for everyone.

Here’s a few interesting links if you want to switch up your to-do list game:

Now please excuse me – I have a list to make of all the things I need to get in order to start my job search. And a grocery list for Thanksgiving. And a Christmas list! Gotta run!

WELCOME BACK!

Yup – it’s been a LONG time since I’ve written anything here. What can I say? Life happened. I changed jobs, we had a pandemic and I was just so busy with other things that I just let Learn-or-Do fade into the background. But last week, life happened again – I lost my job in a large corporate layoff at Walgreens and so Learning and Doing has become very important again.

So today, before do the knee-jerk thing of just madly starting to apply to any job that sounds vaguely interesting, I’m taking a beat. I’m going to breathe, give my emotions a little time to settle (because this was so unexpected and left my old team in a such a hard place) and then carefully consider what I want to do.

There was a time when I though Lebron James was arrogant when he talked about where he wanted to take his services when he left the Cleveland Chevaliers, but I get it now. See you all tomorrow!
