My to-do list is so long…it doesn’t have an end

The to-do list…

Everyone has one. Some are kept on paper, some in memory, and some are kept on list keeping websites. With 2 kids and husband who is great with a lot but not so much handy in the memory department, I have a lot of to-do lists. In fact, I am so obsessive compulsive vigilant about keeping my to-do items in order and on track (as much as humanly possibly) that I actually subscribe to all three methods for my to-do lists. Of course, since moving in to our new house, none is growing at a faster pace than my house to-do list though. Want to see read the grand plans?

Need to do now (thankfully, this is short!):
  • Repaint outside basement entry surfaces (railing and bricks)àamazingly, I finally got around to purchasing the supplies for this. Who knew I would need my ID to purchase Rustoleum though?!
  • Paint wood posts to deck
  • Seal driveway

On the horizon (12 month timeline):

  • Assemble the playset for the kids (waiting on the HOA approval!)
  • Finish entryway (more on that in-progress project later)
  • Finalize the family room mantle/pillow plans…maybe new lamps?
  • Buy or build a new kitchen table
  • Replace breakfast area light and island pendant lights
  • Hang remaining decorations in kid rooms
  • Build headboard for guest room
  • Refinish furniture in guest room
  • Finish decorating master bedroom
  • Change mirror in hall bathroom (bye bye builder mirror)
  • Paint or refinish kitchen cabinets

In the distance (a.k.a not enough funds to do at the moment):

  • Replace carpets on main level with hardwood flooring
  • Decorate the living room (requires furniture!)
  • Finish basement
  • Add tile backsplash in the kitchen
  • Add stone to the fireplace
  • Install in-ground sprinkler system
There are a whole lot of other little projects to do around the house that I just haven’t focused on enough to add them to the to-do list. I’m sure the list above will keep growing…
How do you keep track of your to-do list? Do you find it grows faster than you can keep up with or do you keep it under control?
