Carrie – I start out with good intentions – but my to-do list also becomes my way of remembering what I have to do “soon.” Every morning before printing it, I push things I know I won’t get to to another day. Then things happen and it is 10 at night Tuesday and I am just writing you. I planned to respond as soon as I read this on Monday. I couldn’t have a to-do list with just one or two things on it, because some of those things take blocks of time, while others I can fit in around longer tasks. I love the sentiment in “Only put things on your to-do list that you actually do…but I would have to create the list at the end, not the beginning of the day.
