Want To Do List

I'm taking a new spin on the to-do list. I have three problems with the traditional to-do list that always leaves it undone and me exhausted and frustrated. 
1) It only lists things I need to do which is daunting and can be discouraging when nothing gets checked off.
2) Those things I "need" to do really aren't needs, at least not most of them.  My priorities and pressures on myself are in the wrong places.
3) I rarely take the time to take care of myself, hence the exhausted and frustrated feeling. 

I've devised a way to fix all those issues.  I am going to put it all, my household chores and self care items, on my Want To Do List.  So, without further ado, here is my new list.  I was reviewing it last night and I've already finished some items. Go me!
