"Lose an Hour in the Morning
and you will spend all day looking for it"
Richard Whately
At the start of each day I write myself a 'To Do' list, it usually involves a few or a lot of household jobs, what to cook for dinner, maybe a phone call to make, bills to pay and something fun like a craft project, some planting in the garden, a special treat to bake or preserve, or allow myself sometime to Blog.
I find if I set myself just small goals everyday then they are much more achievable. I do not hold as much expectation on myself, if it does not get accomplished it simply gets moved to the start of the next days list and so on...
I do pride myself on my organisation skills, however I do have many times of major procrastination and minor meltdown...!
So with all that said this was my weekend project
Just crossed off my list . . .
Beef Jerky
&
Dried Apples
funny thing i was just writing my to do list because recently stuff is not getting down and you should see the list it would take 10 people to complete it
ReplyDeleteI think that equates to a fairly time consuming job .... just the cutting and peeling, unless you had helpers!? I'll pass on the jerky, but a plate of the apple thanks.
ReplyDeleteGoodness me, yes, you are impressive. I've seen beef jerky prepared many times now, and it is a big job. The apples look lovely too, have you ever done this with paw paw?
ReplyDeleteCathy, I know what you mean, sometimes my to do list carries itself on for several weeks...
ReplyDeleteYes duchess , bit of prep work involved, but easy sailing once that is done...I did have a little helper for the jerky, my son (13) loves it, it was actually his idea and he even went into the butchers on his own to purchase a nice piece of steak!
As for the apples, You can imagine how long they took to prepare and then they were eaten in less than 5 minutes,Sorry none left to share!!! But it was a nice treat and fun to do.
Ali, I just got my dehydrator for Xmas this year so I'm just staring to experiment. I have a paw paw tree growing but the paw paws are falling off well before they are anywhere near ready, my newly planted fruit trees are also only very young so while I wait for my crops to mature I keep a hunt out for cheap produce at the fruit shop to play with. Was hoping to try Banana but unfortunatley I may have to wait a while for that now too, unless of course you have any spare??? :)
well done! I've gotten out of the habit of list making, but maybe it's time to rethink that!
