Nerd Church - To-Do List Struggles

 

My to-do isn't that long - at first glance.

But that's mostly because I only write down a few things that I need to prioritise and/or think I'm in danger of forgetting. 😅

My mental to-do list? Much, much, bigger.

Like... I expect a lot of myself.

I'm trying to let myself miss out items on my to-do list.

I'm trying to let myself do less and not think less of myself for it.

Because the world is pretty wild and hostile right now, right?

So I'm trying to take care of myself, to pace myself, to cut myself just a little bit of slack.

Why is it so hard, d'you think? 

Is it just the way society (and our old pal Capitalism,) has forced us to be?

We need to remember that we are people, not just numbers in a bank account, or cogs in an industrial machine.

And if that means letting something from our to-do list slip every now and then - taking into account deadlines and necessities and all of that stuff - then so be it.

But... it's still just so hard, right? 

To fight the feeling of failure when we're do tired to meet our own expectations of ourselves? (And yes, I am 100% talking about myself here.)

...I don't have all the answers.

But I guess it starts with asking the questions. 

(And maybe with letting that to-do list slip, just a little.)

Do you struggle with your to-do list?

Do you mind letting items slip, or not?
