The "Flash List". This is a game I made up to get five things done really quick. Start by cutting up small pieces of any kind of scrap paper, keep them in a small box on the edge of your desk.

A previous boss insisted we have productive days so he gave us a sheet of paper on which he had headings. He asked us to list three things we wanted to accomplish on a given day, and one thing we would break up over the many days of a month.
Eighteen months ago I lost my husband of 42 years. Ever since, my children have me use one of those magnetic chore pads that stick to my refrigerator and as I see a light bulb out, a leaky faucet, etc.
