Most everyone seems to have a 'To Do' list in some form or another. I notice that as I get older the list gets longer. I have great ideas for home and just don't implement them, it seems. My current list includes items like:
fix duct in attic
clean coils in AC unit
empty boxes in office
empty more boxes in guest room
fix the front yard (there are a couple of holes created by a mole and then heavy downpour)
install cabinets in garage
fix gate going to backyard
build fence around pool pump
fix wood rot on side of house
I'm happy to say that my list of nine things has had several wiped off in the last few weeks...however, it still continues to grow. But this is what I've come up with. When I now see projects that appear, I take the Buddhist path and acknowledge them and move on. I don't want my list to grow as unfortunately for me, this list is a point of discontent. I can't relax while that list is still there.
We just celebrated Memorial Day and with this day off, I worked from 7am-5pm on my list and considered it a great day. At any rate, my list of 9 has been reduced to a list of about 4 and a half as I'm halfway done with that front yard.
If I get to the point of taking vacation days for my list I will, at that point, remove all paper from my house.
