  • eat salad late lunch
  • make the bed!
  • walk or exercise at lunchtime

Weekly

  • brush Renton
  • clean Prince’s house
  • mow the lawn on the weekend
  • water office plants once a week
  • take the kids somewhere fun
  • ride my bike

Seasonal

  • clean cars & check fluids, etc
  • sharpen knives & oil boards
  • replace air con filters & check the smoke alarms

  • clean out gutters
  • weed-whack the front & hill
  • spray for poison ivy
  • clean windows

Annual

I found it helped to put these things as tasks on my google calendar.
