Some things on my “to-do list” that never get done
Sleep all night
Lose 10 pounds
Go out for a run
Other stuff on my “to-do list” that I keep passing by
Clean the house
Clean out the barn
Weed the garden — beautify!
What I want on my to-do list instead of all that stuff
Daydream
Moodle
Sketch
or doodle
Make some art with pasta noodles
Play the flute
Or trombone
Spend two weeks without my phone
Call old friends
To just say “Hi!
I’m thinking of you! Okay, bye!”
To-do lists are a tool, that’s all
Whether long or whether small
Crossing items off feels good
Instead of focusing on “should”
The title of this post was a prompt that showed up in Jetpack.

I love this so much!! I’m a list maker from way back, but have just recently learned to give myself grace for not finishing everything all the time. It’s just a guideline, not a requirement.
This is excellent so positive 💜💜
Love your list, Sally. I need one just like it!
Brilliant Sally! I enjoyed this list poem immensely!
I like this. 🙂
Looks so very similar to my constant to-do list (except play the trombone, I’ll leave that to my son) 💞 Lovely poem, Sally! 💞💞💞
