20 March 2008 - 6:00To-Do List is My Downfall

I’m a big fan of using math to describe emotions. You might think that means I’m emotionally out of touch, which is true, but only because I’m terrible at math.

Anyway I like to create to-do lists, I think they are a great way of getting myself organized. It feels really good every time I write an item to do on the list, as if just writing the task is an accomplishment itself.

Here is the problem though, sometimes I get greedy when I make my list, I add to many items. Each item I write is +1 happiness but the next day every task I don’t complete gives me a -3 so if I make my list too big then that next day I feel terrible.

Moral: Keep the to-do list and other aspirations low

[Okay I didn’t really think this through before I wrote it – but hell I need a post, so here it is]
