Before you sit.... Check yourself!

I recently made Adam a list of things to do before he can watch a TV show. I've been finding he watches too much TV and I hate the constant bartering. So I made up a little list using Microsoft Publisher.
( I LOVE PUBLISHER)

I put the picture in a plastic sleeve so he can use a dry erase marker to mark the things he's done.

The best thing about this is that usually he gets busy doing other things and having fun doing them that he forgets that he wanted to watch TV anyway!

Anyway, I realized that I needed a similar list too... because I spend an awful lot of time on the computer (Says the woman writing a blog post... touche) So here is a list I made for myself and I plan on hanging it up right beside my computer to remind myself to do other things first, as well!

I may just have to frame this and hang it up. It would be more appealing to the eye.

It's so hard sometimes to be accountable to yourself when you're a stay at home mom. This is my struggle, and I find that visual aids help me the most. Do they help you?
