April snuck up on me. I wonder if these monthly updates of my 101 Things to do in 1001 Days list will fall by the wayside sooner rather than later? Maybe monthly is too often? But if I stop doing it monthly, will I just stop trying to stick with the list? I don’t know but it’s something else to think about it.
Not a huge lot of progress this month unless you call donating an awful lot of money to charity, painting RJ’s room and quitting smoking progress. I’m not sure that I do. None of those things seem all that unusual or surprising and in the scheme of things, not all that difficult. (The whining about nicotine is purely cosmetic, I wouldn’t want anyone who has struggled with qutting to feel like I’m in some way superior because I didn’t struggle, hahahaha!)
I am pondering the whole "read classics" thing. I realized a couple of weeks ago that I don’t really know what that item means to me. I’m not sure whether I want to read classics I’ve never read before, re-read old favorites, re-read classics that I hated. I’m not even sure how I define the genre "classics". I’ve got a bunch of "classics" reading lists to look at to try and figure it out. In other words, I’m dragging my feet on that whole classics thing while I define for myself what it means. I’m good at dragging my feet on things and even better at justifying the dragging.
This month I suspect we will see the RJ dresser completed, J’s room will be painted, more non-fictions will be read and more money donated. I’m not sure about any others.
lmao, oh ye who refuses to budget, having in hand a 101 things to do in 101 days…
you are just as ocd as the rest of us goofballs.
um make that 1001 days, whatever. point stands… I’m amused.
Nah I am not OCD, I am something else entirely. And a budget is a very different thing from this little list of 101.
And why are you just now amused by this? It’s 3 months old now, I would have thought you’d have been less amused with it by now. Particularly since the things I have scratched off look considerably like my weekend to do lists…
Budgets are things to do… financially. Just a different application of the same basic idea.
But you’ve seen me make “to do lists” every week for how many years now? Sometimes every doggone day.
Have you ever seen me make a budget? Or talk in any significant way about budgeting? Financial planning?
You are right, everyday lists are “things to do” as is the 101 in 1001 list, as is a budget. Different application yes – but from where I sit, very different idea as well.
No worries, I just find your no f’ing way I’m budgeting whilst doing this amusing.
What you have not stated – and should have – is that my outlook is quite the reverse. No bloody way I make to do lists! So I am equally weird, and the pattern you were cut from, I am the remainder. 😉
I can do to do lists but this whole 101 things in 1001 days it just too much for me. It might actually make me do things you know? Instead of just filing things in my mind and then ignoring them.
