Has anyone else missed Finish it Friday? I have. Last weekend in particular I really missed it…and so today, I thought I would bring it back—at least for today.
Now if you’re new to this blog and aren’t familiar with Finish It Friday, here’s how it works. You simply share your to-do list for the weekend in the comments, and then come back here on Monday to report how you did. It’s simple but fun and motivating to read what others are doing and know that you’ve gone public with your own intentions.
Around here Finish It Friday lists include something fun and something you intend to finish. Mine always includes boot camp on the fun list, and laundry and house cleaning on the to-finish list, because that’s what I routinely do on my weekends. Alright, shall we give this a whirl?
Play List:
- Boot Camp. (So happy I’m still doing this. Finish It Friday was part of what helped me cement this habit!)
- Attend a time management seminar today. (I love learning new approaches to this topic. I’m quite excited.)
To Finish:
- Laundry.
- Start + finish cleaning the house.
- Spend 30 minutes on some paperwork that needs to be done.
- Update my master project list.
By the way, here’s a printable for recording your Finish It Friday list. Download Finish-it-friday-list
Who wants to play along? If so, simply post your to-do list in the comments. And…if you aren’t one to post your to-do list here but you enjoy reading the Finish It Friday posts so you can play along at home, please let me know in the comments. I’m trying to decide if Finish It Friday will be back to stay for good. Thanks! Hope you have a terrific weekend!
