To-Do Lists

Loveofjoe11

I have this running to do list, like send a birthday card, buy spring flower bulbs, etc.  When I get home, I just don't feel like doing it.  I much rather waste time on the internet, read, play with my puppy, etc.  They are not super important things to do, but I love the feeling of checking things off, and I just haven't found the motivation to do it.

I'm a total list-checker-offer person, but I make mental lists.

It's part of my OCD I think.

Every day when I wake up I have a list in mind... even for stupid little things at work.

I used to feel bad (well not really bad, but just like let down I guess) if I didn't get everything I envisioned done.

But now, with a baby especially, I'm learning to get go some.

I'm a list-maker, too, but I definitely have periods of "eh" about it. Like sometimes, I don't care how messy my living room is, I'm just going to sit in the middle of it, surrounded by dirty dishes, and watch tv, because I just want to, darn it. Sometimes, I actually get stubborn with myself and won't do the items on my list just because you (me) can't make me. It's one of the privileges of being an adult.

I'm not so much a to-do list person as I am a calendar person. I have a monthly calendar that is my life - I've tried using a calendar on the computer or my phone but it isn't the same, in need to write things down and see everything layed out in front of me.

I write all kinds of notes on it, etc. . . . but I agree there are times where I'm like, "dope, forgot to send so and so a birthday card, oh well" because I was too busy enjoying my "real life".
