Daily Goals

Is setting daily goals to much pressure on oneself or is it a realistic thing to do? How many of us make lists with Things to do today? 
   I know that i have done that more than once and i tend to right down what i have already done, which makes little sense since I'm the only one looking at it. Why do we do that?  
  Let's take yesterdays daily "tasks" or "goals" list i made for myself:      
  •   Crochet 20-30 hexagon's 
  •   Make some headband's
  •   Work on getting my yarn organized again.
  •    Getting some laundry done and actually put it away. 
So let's go through them. I made some head bands , i did do some laundry and it's folded but it's on the table in the kitchen, so do i get half credit?  I didn't organized my yarn and i didn't make hexagon's, I used my yarn and i went through it ,but i didn't organize it. I made not only headbands but  beanie's and i need to finish another beanie that is still on my hook. I chased a 3 year old around, made dinner early since the husband had to work last night, got dishes done, Talked to mom, chased down the older kids to see what they were up to after school, made sure all was well with the 19 year old,(She has more drama then MTV sometimes.)Watched the Jodi Arias trial while crocheting.
   So your asking yourself what the hell is the point to this. Well my point is that I'm  still  breathing, i am not a horrible person because i didn't do what's on my list, I'm not less than, I'm not a failure etc. I'm only human and maybe i should make weekly lists instead of daily. lol  We are not robots. Some of us are working inside or outside the home, some of us have disabilities that limit us, some of us are mom's / dad's chasing small one's around, some of us have other responsibilities outside the home that we have to do, and then some of us are just plan lazy.
Just because you set Daily tasks for yourself and you don't get them all done does not make you a Failure.
   Today is a new day and maybe i can get to them today. 
   So my question for today is: 
  What are you gonna do today that you didn't get done yesterday
  What is gonna be different today? 
  I hope that this finds you all well and that you get what you need to get done today.  Don't be so hard on yourself and remember tomorrow is a new day.  
  Happy Thursday
