When in doubt, list it out.

Apr3

So, as I mentioned yesterday, I have been feeling very overwhelmed by all the things I need to do and in that overwhelment (that’s totally a word!) all I could think about was how impossible it was to get everything done, and blah-blah-blah-excuses-excuses-excuses-stfu-Poppy-and-just-do-the-damn-stuff-al-damn-ready.

Some part of my brain was actually listening… I made a list today of things I really, really, really need to get done. I published it privately (level 10 access; no one but me has that) to my blog with the date stamp April 3, 2025 so that it glares at me every time I read my blog. Before I even hit Save on the post I knocked off 6 of the 14 items. (It’s more than 14 now. But that’s ok.)

I just tried to go do a seventh item but was told I needed a certain legal document that is sitting on my desk at home, on top of a stack of papers, mocking me that I didn’t just know I needed it (duh). But I’ll be back tomorrow, and I will accomplish that task, and hopefully have crossed out several more items from the list. I have the plan to do three more of the items on Saturday, including the one that is causing me the most anxiety. Yay me. :smiles:

Lists work, people.

  1. If it weren’t for lists and stickies, I don’t know that I could make it through this thing called life. :geek:

  2. I don’t know.. sometimes lists depress the living shit out of me…

    They make me feel like I am in a hole I can’t climb out of… but then you know how cheerful I am! :confused:

  4. I have a Login only child-website that only I know about with this kind of stuff on it. Including integrated office and everything. I love list as well… :love:

  5. Wow that “child-website” really sounded bad. I meant it was a child site to my domain… Theres just no way to say that without sounding like a miscreant. You know what I fuckin mean.

  7. Tug, I think I’d be in a looney bin without lists.

    Maman, one task at a time. One task at a time.

    Creature, :smiles:
