What sort of things were on your coffee pot list, anon? Was it a list of things you had to do? Or a list of cool things for you to do as well as your responsibilities?
When I first started doing posting them it was the things that kept me up at night - that I could do nothing about until tomorrow that was a problem. You know how you get obsessed with trying to solve something, then I'd be up all night and then too tired to take care of the house and the house became a true disaster. So it would be like call about one bill I owe, take out trash, make a grocery list. Nothing major but all the little things that just seemed too much. It did help because I wasn't over whelmed trying to think how I would get everything done. I learned it didn't all have to be done BUT I did need to get organized and de-stressed and then things wouldn't get so out of hand. It has helped in the long run because I find that in the past year in a half that more important decisions are easier to handle.
And I just have to say this is OT but another friend just got her butt slapped by a hot country singer. She's hilarious about it.
