In fact, there's a constant running list of things, projects, musts, life imperatives and other little niggling thing-doodles begging for my attention. And if I ignore them, they eat me up. As much as I want for them not to. And they're my own little brain-worms, so I should be able to make them go away.
Right?
Wrong.
How, oh HOW do I make to-do's go away, without actually doing the 3 million things on the to-do lists?
Answer: I don't.
1. Do what I can.
2. Let the rest go.
So there.
Because I'm feeling sporty, I'd like to share my good friend Tom's to-do list. It's a master of a to-do list, and it's exactly the sort of thing that makes me drool a little. Both because I'm totally overwhelmed by it, and at the same time in love with it:
Thomas Edison's To-Do List, as perused by Brain Pickings (which is generally one of my favorite blogs EVER).
Frankly, given the slobber problem, I think John Lennon's to-do list is a bit more my speed ("#4 Marmalade." Oh yeah. That's the stuff - OH! And "HBO guy comes between 3-5" !!!).
John Lennon's Handwritten To-Do List, again, on Brain Pickings .
Day 74 of One Thousand Days I did what I could.
And since I hate them so much, I wonder if a CUTE to-do list would make life better?
Download this cutie over at Noisette Academy (someone has clearly embraced their to-do listing. Someone OTHER than me).
