I'm Committed
This morning I woke up with a singular purpose. I commit to getting my To Do List done for the day.
First, however, I check Twitter. Then I check some more. Then I hope someone will respond to what I thought was a brilliant tweet, so I keep checking.
Then I think, wow, I really need to write a blog post. I’ll start that after I check Twitter again, cuz dammit, that Tweet was funny.
And now I need to tackle the To Do list. But I can’t actually find the list. I dig under three Cheetos bags, a dog leash, a Camp Trip Release form (shit, that was supposed to go out yesterday) and finally, triumphantly find the list. It has orange fingerprints on it and is much longer that I remember.
I really need to redo this. I should have columns sorting these tasks between high priority and low priority (and the column for the shit, that let’s be real, I am never going to fucking do), emails, calls, proposals etc.
Then I check Twitter again. And then I check to see if anyone posted a comment on my Blog. But I’m not posting a lot to my blog, cuz, uh, duh – I have a lot of things on my To Do List.
You know what. I feel tired. I’ll hit this hard -- tomorrow. I’ll just crank through it all then. That’s the ticket. I’ll write a blog, redo the list, work on the tasks. Tomorrow is the day. The Golden Day. I’ll get up early.
Cuz now I need to check Twitter. Cuz dammit, that Tweet was Golden!

Damn Dee, you are funny! I wouldn't been here earlier but my feed didn't show a new post until this morning.
ReplyDeleteI'm now going to hunt down that Golden Tweet. Hope I find it before that lucky bastard Charlie does.
Good luck on the to-do, I feel your pain!
Wouldn't, would've...whatever. I sucko at editing sometimes:)
ReplyDeleteLike I always say... "Never do today what you can put off doing until tomorrow. No better day than tomorrow."
ReplyDeleteAwesome blog!
Pretty much my life however I never plan to do it the next day. If I expect nothing from myself I am always pleasantly surprise when I get up
ReplyDeleteI think you are a genius.
ReplyDeleteHilarity as always! Gilt is my current ball buster..it screws up everything at work..Do you do Gilt? If not oh Honey..I'll send it! Stuart Weizman's for $125..You can thank me for the insane obsession and Dr. bills later ;)
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling-you send it, thinking it is pure gold, and crickets. Nothing. You almost want to get mad. "You people don't GET IT."
ReplyDeleteWow, I have mornings like this more often than I care to admit. It's good to know it's not just me. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHmm this sounds familiar... It's not because it's what I do every day, no not me. LOL Great post!
ReplyDeleteYou are hilarious! Yeah Twitter is addictive. I try not to Tweet on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteTic Tic Tic
Having withdrawals now. DAMN
Lol, Twitter does indeed encourage us to fritter away our time!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I know what you're talking about. Scratch that. I'm 100% positive that I know.
ReplyDeleteThe wormhole of rewriting the to do list to make it more efficient combined with tweeting - in addition to making time for breaks and snacks... it can be exhausting! But somehow we keep going back ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, who put a mirror on my screen? :)
