"2do" is what I write at the top of a long list of things to do. I have lists that are written on both sides of a sheet of paper (and sometimes multiple sheets). I have daily lists, lists for events and holidays, lists for fix-its around the house, etc. You get the idea and it is never ending.
One of my biggest and longest "2do" list is for my house. This list includes fix-its along with renovations and a hefty price tag. This list also has a required finish date of April 2025. When April came around this year I realized that is just 5 years from now. Instead of shrinking the list is growing. Why April 2025? Retirement. Hopefully.
The good news is that I did check off a big ticket on the "Home 2do" in May. The Fence. 
About 2 years ago the fence on one side of my property started leaning and ultimately fell a year later along with the gate. Several bids put the cost between $4000 and $6000. Like I said, Big ticket.
Working with my neighbor and a handyman I was able to cut my costs and finally get a new fence and gate put up this year. Now that it is up I need to seal it. That's another expense but thankfully a lot less expensive.
So I check one item off and add another to the "Home 2do".
...and so it goes ... on to the next...
