Just simply having a planner isn’t helpful. When it sits in my backpack for a week and I forget to look at it, the thing is about as useful as that kitchen gadget I use once every 2 years. You know the one that is specifically made for a single purpose, that Alton Brown has declared a "unitasker". That one. So, I’m pulling it out of storage and making it my game plan again. For me, checking off to-do list items is exhilarating. So much so that some have even seen me add things to my list after the fact so I could get the satisfaction of making that perfect little ✔️ mark in the box. It gives me a sense of accomplishment and is that little nudge to remind me of my progress. My love of lists and spreadsheets and such were even mentioned at our wedding reception by my matron of honor in her toast. Maybe it’s a sickness. I'm alright with that. Needless to say, I’ve neglected my list. In my busy and go-go-go hamster on a wheel nonsense, my pretty little planner with its own pen and adorable binder clip marking the right page are now 2 weeks untouched. My office is a disaster, and it’s a reflection of the thoughts in my brain. All over the place. So, today I have made a to-do list that won’t go in the planner:
Of course, I could make more excuses, but instead I'm gonna get off my arsse and put my feet to the pavement!
Update: The sunglasses, headphones, check, coffee mug and a few other things weren’t lost... They were buried under piles of shit in the office. It’s like Christmas sometimes after cleaning up weeks worth of mess. Now, sitting at my desk and doing work is relaxing!
