Week25: Laundry List A Wash
I’ve decided to quit that stupid laundry list bullshit. It seems that everytime I make up a list, I end up throwing it away and doing other stuff. So I have decided to throw it away!
I spent most of this week out in the suburbs/country where my mother and step dad live. They have quite a classic garden and I spent a lot of time working on things around the house and yard. My plans have altered quite a bit since my original plans a year ago. Next week marks my half-way point for the year and I still feel quite at a loss.
…I don’t really know what to say at this point. Too busy taking care of shit to write.

my most successful ‘to-do’ lists are the ones where, instead of writing down what i want to/should do and try to check it off, i write down what i did today and then cross it off. that way i get to see all the great things i actually accomplished and not feel shitty that i didn’t do anything i started out to do.
Haha. Great Advice!
I do that sometimes too!
On lists…
By their very nature, lists suggest that you are trying to get somewhere. Trying to end up in a place or position. Always living in the future. But the thing about the universe is that everything exists in a cycle. So what you just did today — you’ll seemingly end up doing again very soon. There will always be food to find. There will always be hides to tan. Pancakes to slap, etc. It always come back ’round again. Living in the flow for me is not easy. In fact, it’s downright difficult. I guess there is a bit of faith involved. But –that being said– i find it pleasurable.
(…I hope that didn’t come off as pompous. Cuz I used to make lists all the time. I even started labeling mine as “Want” to-do lists — which didn’t help.
