I decided today I was going to work on my To Do List. And now I am regretting it. Well, not necessarily regretting, I should say instead how I am dragging my feet.

I had my “List” of things which needed done. I was enthusiastic. I was motivated. I was gonna tackle this project, organize, and throw stuff out. And I was going to feel so accomplished when I was done. But here it is just shy of 9am and I am already discouraged. I start one thing and then I find another project I forgot about. And then another. I also remember how I have been meaning to clean out my fridge and wipe it down the drawers and shelves from the crumbs and ketchup drops which accumulated. There is a pile of clothes to go through to take to the thrift store. A framed puzzle sits on my kitchen table that needs hung. And I have another puzzle picked out I want to start. The garbage is piling up in the can, laundry has to be done, and vegetables are in a pile on the kitchen counter waiting to be chopped for the pot roast I plan to make. But what will happen if I don’t finish my list? Well….nothing. It will all be there for tomorrow or the next day. I’m not having people over I need to impress, the world will not collapse, and the Did You Do All the Things On Your List Police will not be knocking at my door. Whatever I don’t get done today will go on another list for tomorrow. Eventually, those things will be done. But then a new list will sprout. And they cycle will continue.
