I have been using The Knot as my wedding planning website. It is a very well organized, helpful website.
Except for one thing... they have a feature in which they send you little reminders of how many "tasks" you are supposed to have completed, how many tasks you are supposed to be working on, and how many tasks are left to be done before the wedding. They are broken up into weekly segments. When you finish a task you can check it off the list and it moves it from the "to do" tally to the "finished" tally.
Sounds great, right? It is, except that it keeps reminding you how many tasks are "over due." Every time I log in it tells me I have 161 things to do, and 21 are over due. It makes me feel like I haven't been doing anything! All my planning, and I still have 161 things to do?!?!
So I thought I would write about all the things I HAVE gotten done, so I feel like I am actually making progress and am accomplishing something!
