A recent post got me to thinking about something and maybe I have an idea.. Forgive me if its been done before, but in theory (for me anyway) it seems like it might be helpful..

It seems that it for all of us it is common to not complete tasks, follow through on chores, etc. even the simplest ones... It also seems that we are very easily distracted and sucked into internet, TV, phone, games, etc., and things just don't get done..

So maybe just like the forum games and polls, we could have a thread for tasks.. For example, I need to do my dishes.. Another poster replies that they need to fold their laundry, so we both agree to go complete those things and then post back when we are done.. We are still in our own minds connected to the forum, we are getting our chore done and there is an added incentive maybe to be "the first done" or something silly like that..

Does that make sense to anyone?

This was posted 3 hours ago and no takers? I think it's a great idea! I've got plenty of stuff I need to do and (as you said) sucked into the internet. What first? The dishes are calling me quite loudly.....

Hey, I am totally on board.. But unfortunately its a bit late for me now and I am heading off to bed. But I will definitely check in the morning for takers cause I find that is my most active yet most unproductive time if left to my own devices! lol!

Oh I'm in! But I aint got nothing to do right now except go to bed.

Well have a good night! I might hold down the fort here. LOL. I need all the help I could get a lot of times. Did all the dishes. (that's an everyday thing. Why is that so hard to do?). I need to organize some school stuff. I'm going to take a couple online classes which start on the 5th. I need to round up two folders (no prob. I don't need to run to Wal-Mart since I have some downstairs), the paperwork and the hole puncher thingie...and some lined paper. I like that project. LOL. It's the basic boring everyday things that get mundane.

Before that, I'll throw away the streamers that's bugging me. Sitting on top of my printer. Goes to the balloons that's hanging out on the ceiling. Kids keep taking the streamers off so I suppose I'll just throw them away! There! Took more time to type about it than to just get it done!

Ok. The Intermediate Algebra (groan) project......I'll be back!

wonderful idea. I have a proposal for your first task:

--> go to bed

(you're still online half an hour after you stated that you'd go .. hey, sounds familiar anyone? LOL)

Oh, you got me that time! I think I did go to bed that night (night before last, right?) but I ended up laying in bed for hours not sleeping. =/

Ok my tast right now should be... hmm. To take a shower! I need to go take a shower, I feel dirty.

I'm in! This is a very good idea. I have an incredible amount of work that needs to be done. If I break it down incrementally by using this thread, I just might get something done! Starting tomorrow of course, tonight i'm going to a concert!

OK, its 10:12 est right now..

I need to take the recycling out.. Anyone got something they need to do? I'm willing to play the race game... Lets see if I can post back by 10:30 that I have actually taken the recycling out, even though its raining! lol
