Ten Tasks in Ten Days!

Gina over at The Shabby Chic Cottage is hosting a party challenging participants to come up with 10 tasks to accomplish over the next ten days, June 23 – July 2. I even emailed her for reassurance before I made the decision to commit to make sure this was not about pressure and she replied:

“Oh yeah, it’s all about fun and cheering each other on. No contest, no prizes, just motivation. If you complete them all, you get a pat on the back. Only complete only thing? You still get a pat on the back – it’s all about positivity.”

I gave it some thought and figured I would throw procastination to the wind and take the challenge. Why not use this opportunity as motivation to whittle away at my “to do” list? I’m in. Since I came up with more than 10 things and the paint tasks are weather dependent, I might modify my list as the days progress. But for now, here goes:

1. Paint display letters
2. Repot plant
3. Clean out sideboard drawer
4. Paint inset compartment to secretary
5. Wire No. 2 son’s lantern
6. Replant flowers and lay mulch in front of house
7. Paint accent wall in dining room
8. Set up DIY Spot Twitter page
9. Paint recharger drawer
10. Mod Podge decorative balls
11. Clean inside of van

Care to join me? How could you lose? Do you have a few tasks that you keep pushing to the back burner? (Do people say that anymore or did I just date myself?) How about joining in on some motivational fun and head over to The Shabby Chic Cottage and sign up? C’mon it will be fun! Don’t feel like partying just yet? Why not check in daily and see what all the partygoers, including myself, are crossing off their list? And don’t forget to root us all on! Your cheers will help us to keep going.
