Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done.

View all responses

I finally quite making those ridiculous to-do lists, as they only reminded me of what seemed to never get done!

Since there are no longer any of those discouraging lists lying around, I’m free to take one day at a time, while savoring my successes and rethinking my failures.

Whether I ever come to any financial success is no longer a priority, but rather, where I put my faith and hope. God speaks to me freely, and without handing out any lists.

I know that we like to make lists to make us feel like we are moving forward, or getting a thing accomplished. I suppose that’s all well and good, to a point. However, for many folks, we tend to take things a bit over the edge. Notice how I’ve said we, because I’m no different than anyone else.

It’s alright to make a list of things essential for the day’s comings and goings, but beyond that? Perhaps we should just put “don’t let the tires out of your nasty neighbor’s tires” and, “smile when you feel like crying” on those lists.

My point is that we often put the wrong things on our to-do lists, which is why they never seem to get done!

We humans tend to make things an awful lot harder than we need to, especially when it comes to our to-do lists.

I vote for a to-do list burning party! I’ve got the cookies…
