Enjoyed this v much! Have you seen the Frog and Toad story about ‘to do’ lists? I think you’d enjoy it! (And you’ve reminded me to ring my Auntie Shirley…)
Oh no I haven’t!!! And I LOVE Frog and Toad. I have a collection with three of their stories in but nothing about lists. Haha - good old Auntie Shirley!!!
That was so thoroughly entertaining it could be a book, To your question, I mix my lists together, put in all the family stuff first then try to fit everything else around it. Except on Mondays. On Monday I imagine it’s Friday and everything is due and since there’s know way I’ll finish it all I’ll just pick the most important thing and work on that for 16 hours. I also imagine my little studio is a first class cabin of a 16 hour flight, and my wife is the stewardess who brings the food and drinks at regular intervals (she doesn’t mind the role play) So since it’s Monday you’ll know that I’m very busy so off I go to it, right after i tell everyone to read your newsletter.
That’s TOO kind, Adam. Thank you for adding ‘read The Pen Powell Letters’ to your Monday tasks. Stefan also brings me tea but in more of a Mrs Doyle from Father Ted kind of a way. If you aren’t familiar add ‘google Mrs Doyle’ that to today’s list 😂
Hahaha my classic thing is walking into rooms purposefully and then as soon as I arrive I forget why I’m there. 😂 Took me a while but I LOVE Substack. So easy to use! Always enjoy your posts xx
I liked your post, it led me on a different journey today. That is something I like about Substack writers, you find things that resonate and inspire. Keep it up.

Love a to-do list! However, this is how mine usually go.
1. try and remember what I have to do.
2: give up, after 10 mins of desperately trying to remember ANYTHING!
3. Randomly remember to-dos while doing things where my hands are full and I can’t write them down.
Very happy you have a Substack now. Congrats! Xxxxx
