Defeating The To Do List

My To Do list terrified me because it was always full.

Late one evening and after a lot caffeine, I came up with a plan.

“Have you swept the leaves up yet?” Asked Mary.

“It’s on my list,” I replied with confidence.

“Have you fixed that shelf yet? Asked Mary.

“It’s on my list—“

“This list of yours. Do you ever actually do anything on it?”

“It’s a new productivity hack. every time I procrastinate, I write it on my to-do list.”

I paused.

“Now, I’ve got the most organised list of things I’ll never do!”

Mary glared at me.
