12/2/16  To-do List                                 

Dear friends,

People have told me how much they appreciate my daily to-do lists and I will continue to provide them.  Do not feel as if you have to do ALL of the items on any given day.  Chose the ones that speak to your heart.  If you can only do one or two, then do one or two!  Everything each of us does is most likely more than what we’ve done before. 

Some people cut and paste the list, print it off and take it with them so they can check items off while they are out and about during the day and just waiting or driving.  Others click and do items as they work on their computer or phone.  There is no right way to do this.  Just do something!  If it is overwhelming, just do the first two items to make it easier.  If you have a little more time, do the third….and the fourth….

I am a retired university librarian and love fact-checking and working with information. Between Facebook, Twitter, and email, I gather action items during the day and then post the list in the evening.  I post these to 8-10 Facebook groups all over the country.  We are all doing this work together!  As always, please feel free to share these lists with others!

So, here is today’s to-do list!
