Nancy, what a wonderful post! as always... Love the breaking down of tasks by estimated time to complete and brainpower needed - A or B (or C). I tend to do this in my head. I know that the real creative tasks (Poetry and drafts for my Substack) will take up my freshest morning time-chunks of 1-2 hours, but those in between tasks and small tasks I think will be worthwhile to list. Am trying listing on medium size Post-its for short and medium size tasks. I'll see if this is useful. I can imagine needing to sit in the sunshine a piece of every day this month and bringing for example my research for articles in a local paper, writing an intro for a pitch....and so on.

Marlena, so nice to hear from you! I hope you'll let me know how your work is going--and I'm very much in agreement with your need for sunshine!
