My life revolves around the 'to do list', cause unless I tell self what to do, I won't do anything.
Even to get up and out and about, I need to put it on a list in order to force self to do it.
1. face and hair
2. what to wear
And so forth, one thing at a time, and I simply roll a dice next to each item on list so that what I end up doing next is always randomly chosen.

For sure I need to create a list today, or I'm going to waste all day just sitting here thinking, and getting absolutely nothing done. I'd rather at least do dumb stuff, than to sit here veggying out and doing nothing.  |

I'm slave to 'the list', for if I don't jot down things to do, I won't do anything. The list always starts of with 3-5 things to do, then can easily swell to 20 things to do, some of those things are fun, others are chores, some are required. Example list 1. clean kitchen 2. clean bathroom 3. pay this or that bill 4. bathe, or wash 5. clean bedroom floor 6. join new social media site 7. create a new gif 8. down load and edit photos 9. clean out fridge 10. go shopping And so forth, and then I roll a dice next to each one so that the random roll of the dice decides for me which item on list I get started on.  |

The thing about 'to do lists', at least with me, is I can't spend to much time on just one thing or my mind and interest will drift.

Must create a 'to do list', my to do lists is like my ignition switch, it's what gets me started and going, but once engine warmed up, other 'to do' things will start entering thy mind.

To me, a 'to do list' is like a pilots check list  Pilots have extensive checklists for a reason, cause nothing can go wrong in the air or else. There's so much on a pilots checklist that if didn't have the list in front of them they'd probably forget a few preflight checks. It's the same with 'to do list', for me, in that if don't put something on that list, I'll forget to do it. Putting something on 'to do list', has saved me many a time in the past, for had it not been on the list, I'd of forgotten to pay this bill, or cancel that service ect.

I have a list of 'life priorities' as well.
For example, I can't just isolate myself in any one 'program' of life.
My priority and what trumps all other things always has to be fitness, for without health, nothing else on the list matters.
Then I have to make room for 'joy', or 'play time', recreational time, for unless I've laughed and played a bit, I won't be able to concentrate on more serious times as work, or hobbies.
Then comes hobbies, things I do cause I want to, freedom, then finally comes my job, dead last of mental priorities.
Now for some, their job or career is first in that their job or career is their hobby, those are the lucky ones, usually entrepreneurs, maybe pro athletes, pilots, military, ect.
But at the moment I have no such relationship with my field of work, so it comes in dead last on the balance of life sheet or list.
Now, with that being said, it's time to go recreate a bit and exercise so I can then focus on some play past time, and not feel sickly doing so.

This time of the night, I recreate a 'to do list', but only put stuff that must get done on it.
The essential list, which means it's not really a fun list.

I'm all listed out now, tomorrow is looming, what's left on the list will have to wait.
Today was near bliss for me, I just felt so free, tomorrow I'll be anything but that.

I have an unexpected day off from work, and in a bit of a haze, but life's to short to spend it in a haze, so will create a 'to do list' to kind of get me going in some kind of direction.
I think 'to do lists', are a form of rebellion to me, why?
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Because when I create a to do list, I roll a dice next to each item, and do the item dice rolls highest number next to or on, that way it gives me a feeling of randomness rather than obligation.
I don't like feeling like I have to do anything, so even on the to do list, I make sure whatever I do end up doing is chosen randomly.

My 'to do lists' are so boring, and sound like the type of to do list my parents would of handed me as a hobbit.
Like
clean room
clean kitchen
get dressed
groom
check the mail
finish job assignment
ect and ect.
Talk about a boring life I lead.
If I had a exciting life my to do list would read like this instead
1. take sports car for ride up and down the beach
2. Find a date for tonight
3. Go cash your super large tax return check (I wish)
4. Invite friends over for a party
And so forth.
But no, nope, my to do list more reflects the first set of tasks like cleaning, yuk

Todays list won't be a fun list
Todays list won't be a fun list, it'll be a list of things that I must get done, not that I want to get done.
Maybe one or two things on it might be fun or recreational in nature.
But there are just certain things I must do, whether I like it or not.
But once get those must do things cleared off list, inner tension drops, can relax, and then have a bit of fun.

Once again, my to do list will be my fuel for the day to get me moving forward. One thing yesterdays to do list had me do that I would not have done if not on the list, and that was go get a oil change.  If not for to do list, I'd of kept putting it off. Staff was OK, actually staff was fine, except one dude who had the 'I'm the boss' syndrome. Thickly built black dude with short dreads. They were into the 'I'm the boss' mode. I guess they weren't use to someone like me who's tall, soxy, talkative and breaks every shop rule imaginable. I was like a creature from another planet to them. Everyone creates their own little world of comfort until a meteorite comes crashing through their atmosphere of comfort. |

OK, enough list crap for the day, now time to just let the mind settle wherever
Been working off of to do list pretty much all day, now time for the mind to settle wherever it sees fit.
Will probably watch a movie, some Amazon movie ect.
When wanting to fall asleep during movie, can't do youtube, cause their commercials come on at a louder volume than program your viewing, very disruptive and rude.
And for the life of me, the programmers who do that and think that it's a good idea, for the life of me, I wonder if they even have souls.
