Up, Down and All Around

Energized

Woke up today with a clear idea of what I wanted to accomplish.

My list of to-do's wasn't particularly earth-shattering or life-changing. It was simply a list of all the things that had gradually been accumulating the past week: mostly deadlines, habilins, and chores that I had been stubbornly ignoring. I guess if I were to be more precise, it's all the stuff that I'd simply lacked the motivation to tackle.

I don't know about you, but I find something very satisfying about ticking items off a to-do list. I guess it goes back to my "let's-do-something-about-it" personality. That small, simple checkmark on the list is a visual reminder I've done my part, that I've fulfilled my end of some bargain. There's a small but undeniable burst of satisfaction -- just enough to get you energized and ready to tackle the next item on list.

Stray thought: Perhaps that explains the popularity of the site 43things. ;)

Happy thought: May we all get a chance to work our way down a long checklist of pleasurable to-do's. And may our lives be regularly punctuated by satisfying little check marks.
