GTD has made it possible for me to “trust my list.”

So, the “Release Candidate 1″ of my daily list…is as follows:

Home by 6:30 (T-TH-F)

• Prepare clothing and food for the next day
• Final check in for blog stuff.
• Write Goals#5.
• Read 40 pages
• DO and fold a load of laundry.
• clear dishes/ 15-30 minutes of house stuff

Set up next day:

• Look at household “to do” projects
• Put clothing out for the next day.
• Write down food for the next day.
• Pack up breakfast.
• Make a plan for any “unfinished” work from the day

I’ll probably add stuff to this in lieu of taking it out; it also works best with the dates on top; i’ve used the dates on the side for this stuff before.

Of course, this all works better with a database, but making this SHARABLE and DOABLE for the people around is a reasonable constraint to work from.

***This may be moved to 4:30 if I can swing it–I think that that would give me a good chance at the day. With another kid on the way, I don’t know what happens next.
