Today has not been productive

[sparkindarkness]

Are you ever so intimidated by your to-do list that you actually do nothing at all? Make no logical sense does it?

I don't work with to do lists, not written ones. A mental one I can deal with, I can review what I've done and be all achievement minded and stuff. Sure I forget things but only rarely, any lists I do make tend to be vague and scrappy - brief notes and post its scattered around saying strange things like "trousers" (do washing) or "cheese" (go shopping).

But today i was organised and wrote the vast list of crap down... and did none of it.

I mean, you just look at this HUUUGE list and the sheer horror of it makes the mind recoil and run to the most unproductive thing it can find. i spent an hour reading a freaking webcomic archive. Of a comic I've already read! Damn it brain, we're the capable one remember? The capable one does not cower in a corner and waste an entire damn day.



Also, my temperature sense is fried. I close all the windows and wrap up and it's boiling. I open windows and lose some clothes and its freezing. This? Does not amuse.

yes. that, plus the amount of effort to make an organized list in the first place, tends to put me off to-do lists in general. i do have lists of things that i should remember in order to perform a particular task, but those are more like grocery lists, as opposed to to-do lists. i tend to list mentally, and file things under "i have to get this done today/now." and "whenever the hell i get to it" in degrees of urgency.

=( i hate that. open windows and wrap up, or close windows and lose clothes?
