Some of the things I tackled on Tuesday include:
1. Laundry. I do this every day. Nothing special about Tuesday.
2. An edamame salad with my 1 tomato a day habit on top. And that particular vine-ripe tomato was perfect. It almost tasted like summer and tomato season.
Dressed with Vegan Slaw Dressing
And some Mango Ginger Maple Tofu on the side
3. A 2 mile run outside while pushing Skylar in the jogging stroller. It’s windy and chilly today. Darn.
4. 20 Minutes of at-home yoga + lifting moves
5. Lots of emails, phone calls, and busy work. And I still have to go to my paid job yet today.
6. I tackled making one of these for Skylar. Nothing too hard to tackle here. They take 3 minutes.
Biggie Microwave Banana Oat Cakes
From my last post for Mango Balsamic Rice, Beans, & Mixed Vegetables, I was happy to hear what your favorite one pot meals are. Gotta love anything that’s one pot and if it’s ready in 20 minutes or less, even better!
And thanks for letting me know your stance on leftovers. Friend or foe. Most of you are friends with leftovers. I am. Such a time saver!
7. For dessert, I’d like to tackle one of these Vegan Maple Nut Chocolate Oaties
Questions:
1. What did you tackle today?
2. Do you like feeling productive?
I know I do!
I am a bit “addicted” to being productive, staying busy, and keeping on track and just getting things done. But it’s just the way life is and so I roll with it. It’s a great feeling for me to cross things off my to-do list. Even if that list is all in my head.
I am obsessed with being productive. A day without productivity is like a day without… blood in my veins. I would die.
Today I worked out, Skyped with my mom, did a bunch of cooking and made food for later in the week, sent a thank you note to an agent, caught up with e-mails and blogs, went to acting class, wrote for my blog, read the news… and more. Gotta keep movin.
I know what you mean about being addicted to being busy. I used to be like that all the time. Today was a bit busier for me and I am so worn out. I can’t keep up that pace too long.
I was pretty productive today. I worked, made supper, did some homework, blogged …
I felt very productive today and tried a lot of NEW stuff today! :)
Your* My eyes aren’t open yet. :oops:
So far I tackled my pillow today! :P
I love being productive. There’s nothing more invigorating than looking at a long list of tasks behind you. :) Conversely, there’s nothing worse than a list of looming tasks ahead of you, lol.
I need to make some more balls! You’re balls always appeal to me, LOL.
you’re vs your
in comment fields, that is so not even important…haha!
lmk if you get this reply :)
I love being productive! I want so desperately to be an early bird (and by early, I mean at the gym by 7), but college life as well as my internal clock incline towards late nights! It’s a struggle, yet I’m determined to make it work most of the time! Today I tackled my first Arabic review class; I can still read the alphabet, so that’s a good start!
You just reminded me I have some edamame in the freezer i need to eat :)
Has Skylar grown a foot recently?! She’s such a little lady!
kind of yes, she has! at least a few inches…like overnight!
Laundry EVERY day!? wow how nice and definitely productive! no scrambling for clean underwear for you :) Our apartment public washer is hungry for quarters, so we do a wash every 2 weeks. Let’s just say I have gone my fair share of days going commando…
see my comment reply two above your comment :)
it just HAS to happen otherwise well, nothing clean!
Hi Averie! Happy Tuesday :)
I want to bake some banana chocolate chip muffins (mmmm…). Can you recommend a gluten-free flour (or a few) that are good for baking? I’ve tried using almond flour, but it ended up kind of flat. Oops!
(I still ate them, though!)

i used almond there
or in these, they start w/ banana and oats

you can use Bob’s Red Mill GF flours.
I never do…but i also dont care if the muffins are flat-ish. I think GF flour is hard to work with, gritty, and $$ but that’s just me. Some ppl adore it.
Thanks Averie! Most of my instructors have food sensitivities, so when I bring homemade goodies to school I want to ensure everyone can enjoy! Thank you for the reply.
tackled work(teaching yoga) and more work (real job). Not a super fun Tuesday
I got a lot done today! Laundry too! Hubby just got back from a trip and i’m washing his clothes…so i feel like I’ll be doing laundry til 2012! :) Also busy packing since we’re staging our house to sell! busy busy!
You come across as super-productive, and as if that helps you to feel good about yourself. It’s inspiring. I definitely feel more productive when I’m in a rhythm, as opposed to traveling all over and being all over the shop. But I notice that sometimes I’m productive but don’t ‘feel’ productive, just can’t take it in…
Laundry once a week–that’s so cool. We do it way less often because we have to go to the laundromat–sometimes I’m almost out of clothes!
i do laundry daily..I just have to with a child, workout clothes, a small-ish washing machine…yeah, needs to happen!
Hey Averie!
Today, I tackled our greens (spinach, kale, cilantro). By tackled, I mean: cleaned, dried, and bagged so that they’re ready to use. It’s a production – washing , salad spinner, air dry on tea towels. There’s probably a more efficient way of doing this, I know!
I like BEING productive more than FEELING productive. ;-)
Today, life is so much busier than work and I feel like I accomplished far more at home than at work (spent most of the day sitting in meetings).
