Guess, as one grows older, ‘forgetfulness’ also grows. Atleast it does with me! I tend to forget even the most simplest of things. Many things come to my mind in a flash, at different points of time in the day and I am like ‘Shucks, I have got to do that too’!
So just to keep up with this busy life, I started habituating myself to penning down things to do in a book, and it evolved into having a book at home and one at office! ‘To do’ List!
This sounds very easy isn’t it? But it was not for me..as I used to forget to look at the book! Now how do I remember that!! Then I started keeping the book in a place which am bound to access. And this seemed to be helpful….
But..what literally is happening is the ‘TO DO’ list just keeps getting bigger as I just do some 25% of the things am supposed to. Because, when weekend approaches, I automatically get lazy and keep postponing many of the planned things. and it literally accumulates till I decide to have it done the next weekend!
Next weekend comes with an extended list and now the ‘To do; list works like a ledger balance ..”Opening items+ new items-items attended =Closing items”!!Ooph…
Laziness has crept into me like never before. Just literally feel like doing nothing!! And when the weekend ends, I m like ‘ what the hell did I do?..I could have done this..that’…God ! this is another form of weekend blue in addition to ‘Oh god! Its Sunday evening,..”
Atleast, penning down has helped me to feel free of the burden of remembering too many things.Now, I just relax. Looking at the book every now and then has built into a habit and I chose to do things whenever I feel like. Atleast I don’t miss things.
This weekend has ended with a carry forward list which I plan to do next weekend!........But this weekend I look forward to Monday ..you know why???? Tuesday is holiday ! Christmas!....Hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
