I love the idea of to-do lists. They seem so organizational and official. And the dopamine rush you get when you check something off? Amazing.
That being said, when I write out a to-do list, whether it’s for getting certain homework assignments done during the day or even an over-arcing one for breaks in between semesters, I never seem to get anything done. Take this blog post for instance. I was supposed to post this three weeks ago! It frustrates me to no end, and I wish there was a way to combat this sense of failure I feel when I look at the pad of paper sitting on my desk full of tasks yet to be done. No, not every day needs to be a productive one. Writing for me comes in times of intense inspiration, and there are always slumps that come along with that. It’s part of the process. And I did have fun today, spending time with my family, cooking, and exercising. I just wish I’d gotten at least one thing done that I’d set out to do. There’s still some time left, and I’m not going to waste it. I’m gonna go check off a couple of things before I go to bed tonight. Again, like this blog post. Even though it wasn’t even on the list for today, but whatever. If I don’t see you before, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and happy writing!
