0 Tasks Left to do
I like having a lot of proverbial balls in the air. With a lot of plates spinning, I can’t get bored or complacent, and when I get distracted, it’s usually by something else I should be doing, so I stay relatively productive. But I do have a lot of trouble finishing what I start, especially as things fall further down the list of importance.
Hard deadlines are helpful; especially with AP test deadlines or school projects, I had a number of other people relying on me to get it done and do a good job representing them. Once the semester starts, my life becomes dictated by the deadlines imposed by the semester, some by choice, other by design. But my summers are often large periods of relatively unstructured time, and no matter how many times I tell myself that this summer will be different, I still think I will be able to complete all the things.
And so, with only a few weeks left before the summer, I want to complete the list of things lingering in my phone so that I can leave for college with a clear conscience. I don’t know if I feel better or worse that I want to have 0 tasks on my to-do list. I will be leaving behind my old tasks so that I can do into college ready to start making new lists. Another thing, I did after analyzing my to-do lists was study why they make me so happy.
Psychology attributes our love of to-do lists down to three reasons: they dampen anxiety about the chaos of life; they give us a structure, a plan that we can stick to; and they are proof that what we have achieved something during a current day, week or month. I can't wait to finish my to-do lists and I want to thank you all for joining my this time on Storytime with Sejal. I can't wait to update you all about my to-do list adventures.
