There seems to be a list for just about everything in our daily lives. Projects, goals, reminders, commitments, grocery and many more but the one I hate the most is the "To Do List". Part of the problem with a "To Do List" is having multiple competing priorities that all seem to be screaming for attention. Maybe I am wrong about hating the "To Do List" the most! I really hate much more, the list that keeps track of all the different attentions needed to focus on maintaining the "To Do List".
One of the biggest problems with making any list is where do you put the list after you have made it? Do you write it out on paper and stick on the refrigerator door?
What if you don't complete the items on the list. Does that restrict you from opening the refrigerator door? If that were the case I would never be able to eat a bologna sandwich ever again.
If you are like me your list never gets completely completed so do what I do. Just don't put it on the list! Keep thinking that some day you will get around to it then the list will be completely completed or maybe start a new list for all those things you didn't get done. The new list will make you feel so guilty that sooner or later you'll get everything done you've been putting off.
I'll never try to convince anyone that making a "To Do List" will solve all of one's problems but at least the list will keep track of everything on the list. Getting everything done is a phrase that does not seem to be in my vocabulary. However, when the process becomes a bit dulling or overwhelming one phrase does enter my vocabulary very quickly. "Why Bother" or commonly known as "Fuck It".
Why use the F-word?
