My compromise? A 'next week' plan. I'm still working it into my schedule and it's one of my major productivity goals for 2010. This allows for some unexpected things to take over some of my time each week (as they always do) and doesn't make me fret over something if it doesn't happen until the end of the week :) This is good – but I find it hard to adhere to.

Sometimes, also, when I wake up in the middle of the night, worried about work the next day, if I make a to do list, then I can fall back asleep immediately. However, lately my to do lists have gotten far too unwieldly. I think a maximum of five items might be more attainable...if everyone would stop suggesting their stuff was most important!

Routines always help. As for my home, I am more slack on the schedules in the evenings. However I do make my bed every morning when I wake up. That is my thing, oddly mornings... As soon as I roll out of bed I pull it all neatly together. I set up the jungle for my cat to amuse himself all day, give him his morning grub and open the blinds. I find having a set of things that get my day going, helps me get my head on. Usually spend that time thinking about what to wear, the day ahead, tasks to do, noting chores that must be done.

It makes a huge difference in how effective I am the next day if I've arranged my desk & to-do list before leaving the office, and if I make sure my kitchen's clean at home before I go to bed. If I don't finish those two critical things, my next day generally falls apart, because I'm still busy dealing with yesterday's messes AND the fires that inevitably pop up during the next day.
