A few things ticked off the list

This is what I have done since my last message (not an exhaustive list, of course):
1 Bought sister a birthday present (Umbrella)
2 Threatened to sack the drilling man if things didn't happen; spoke to geologist to say I want the original specification and wouldn't consider anything else if it cost more; asked the surveyor to engage the trenching people, plumber and electrician. So far the borehole has started to be dug - down 5.5 metres so far apparently.
3 Phoned stepbrother re:will
4 Unwound a bit of knitting as I had dropped a stitch - and then reknitted it
5 Booked a holiday (hadn't mentioned that, had I?)
6 Ransacked Guiding cupboard for programme ideas.
7 Gone to the Gym twice this week. I've lost a Kg so far but I might have been breathing in.
8 Thought about County team restructure to get round problem of lack of Chair of Programme.
9 Put together a Queens' Guide mailing for those no longer in Guiding but living locally.
10 Read through the accounts.
11 Drawn up the County Exec agenda and written some of the notes for it.
12 Drafted a couple of pieces for Air and Share.
13 Engaged a gardener to redesignmy front garden - can't do the back as it is used a football/cricket pitched and all plants get smashed to pieces.
.... and done a bit of paid work too.

I am also reading a book by Mark Forster about time management which tells you to write a list and then put a day's worth of it to do tomorrow - only moving some to today if you have time and they merit it. It has made me super efficient.

Tonight we have Guiding Development Group. This may not be familiar to you but consists of a Commissioner, Chair of Adult Support, Chair of Marketing and Info, Treasurer and, if we had one, Chair of Programme - and me. We are looking at what we need to be focussing on as a County to be successful. The ideas came from the Strategy Day we held a month ago. Today we are going to look at things which will have a big impact but will take some planning to do. Wish us luck.
