Of Lists... old and new...

I have always wondered how people multi-task... I seem to do only one thing... Make ' things to do' lists!

There are so many things to do in a day, so much to do over a lifetime, it seemed a good idea get thing organised by making a list,! Yet,most of my life seems to be spent coming up with new things to do,making grandiose 'plans of action' for getting them done and then adding them onto the already long list of 'things to do'.

Every day starts with the ritual of making a nice new list,new priorities in place, and ends with re prioritising and rethinking of existing plans, and coming up with new things to do.Hardly anything ever gets labelled 'DONE'!

The list never shortens.. it only gets longer and longer each new day!

There have been so many times when ideas have died a painful death, simply because I haven't had the time and the focus to carry them forward.I was too busy coming up with other ideas,making other newer,grander plans of action!That hurts like hell....

This blog is a way of figuring out how I could get to making at least one idea count.It is an attempt at using the age old method of putting thought to paper(the world wide web in this case),so I could come up with a brilliant plan that would help me cross a few items off my ever expanding list of ' things to do'!!

I haven't had any luck!

But I've found a way of making a list that I could cross thing off,and easily at that!!

I'll just start writing a 'things not to do' list!!!

I'll at least be confident of crossing out quite a few things of that list!!I always do things I shouldn't be.... and even if I don't cross things off this list... I'll still be a winner,'coz then, I'll finally be crossing off something from my 'things to do' list!!!

What an idea,madamjee!!!!

I'll get going then... I've got a real long list to make!!
