Home My WebLink AboutTimes-Advocate, 1979-07-25, Page 18By ELAINE TOWNSHEND In my ongoing search for the secret to being organized, I tried the advice of a wise philosopher, who said: "Make a list of all the chores you have to do in a day or a week. Then, as you finish each task, scratch it from the list. As the scrat- ches increase and the jobs decrease, you'll gain a feeling of accomplishment. With your timetable thus organized, you'll find more time for relaxation." His intent was to list the jobs in order of their im- portance rather than their enjoyment and to do the most pressing tasks first. But, wise philosopher that he was, I'm sure he made allowances for cheaters like me.

Times-Advocate, July 25, 1979 first, things I like to do; second, tasks that are easy and can be done in a hurry; third, longer and more complicated chores; fourth and final, jobs I absolutely deplore. By doing the easy jobs first, I quickly accumulated numerous scratches. At first glance my list looked im- pressive, but I wasn't really fooling myself. I knew the few jobs that remained would take more time and effort than all the smaller ones combined. Items, such as "scrub kitchen floor" and "clean storeroom" went from one day's list to the next and one week's list to the next. I could close the storeroom door and forget it, but I couldn't avoid tromping on the kitchen floor. Finally I could stand the dirt no longer. Out came the mop, bucket and wax, and at the end of the evening, I maliciously scratched one more onerous task from the list. Meanwhile the storeroom door stayed shut. One day my niece came to visit, and I absent rnindedly sent her to the storeroom to get something. In a moment, her horrified, muffled voice floated out to me, "Elaine, this is awful! How do you find anything in here?" I didn't say a word, and I didn't pressure her in any way. For some reason, she decided to clean the room, and I didn't interfere. I stayed out of the way, interrupting her only to check the loads of garbage before she hauled them out to the box. Occasionally I had to explain the difference between good junk and worthless junk, Otherwise no conflicts developed. When she finally finished and allowed me in, I thought I was in the wrong place, The only problem is she expects the room to look as good when she comes back as it does now. Still amazed at my good fortune, I stroked the last chore from the slip of paper. Though my list didn't end the way the philosopher intended it to and I'm no more organized now than I was three weeks ago, I gained a great feeling of satisfaction when I chucked the scribbled list into the trash, MR. AND MRS. STEVE KNIGHT Carolyn Anne Kellett and Stephen Brock Knight were united in marriage on July 14 at the Thames Road United Church by Rev. Stewart Miner and Mr. Ross Hargreaves.
