[Belated] summer project list

The other day a coworker and I were commenting on the blog of our friend Sommer, who somehow finds time to work and do a thousand other awesome things. When we both wondered how she does it, I jokingly said, "she probably doesn't spend as much time on Facebook as we do."

Later on that evening, the truth of that statement really hit me. I have pinned dozens of cool ideas, I have tons of goals and aspirations, and my bucket list isn't getting any shorter. Yet I spend time on Facebook liking the latest batch engagement photos instead of doing the stuff that I want to do in the first place.

So I decided to help myself change that bad habit. I made a list of the things I wanted to do this summer, and put them in one of my pretty blue mason jars. Anytime I am bored I won't have an excuse!

So here is to getting things done!

  1. You're sweet :), but I'm pretty sure I waste just as much time on Facebook. I like your jar idea though! I've just got my projects stashed around my apartment 1/2 finished or sitting out waiting to be done. I can think of 5 off the top of my head! We should get some girls together after work some evening and have a craft party!

  2. I love this and your post about following through on blogging and other things. Scott and I have realized lately that our concentration and discipline is lacking, and we think it's a direct result of our time spent on Le Facebook and watching Netflix every living hour of the day. I like this idea of making a list, though! A) Because I love lists and B) I have 35+ mason jars and am looking for ways to use them.

    Love you! And I want to see pictures of your cute apartment!!

    1. I definitely feel your pain. I feel like my attention span is nothing these days! Facebook and technology in general have certainly made it a lot harder for me to be disciplined--there is just too much to focus on at once!
