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!

  1. Damn Dee, you are funny! I wouldn't been here earlier but my feed didn't show a new post until this morning.
    I'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!

  6. I 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."

  11. I'm pretty sure I know what you're talking about. Scratch that. I'm 100% positive that I know.

  12. The 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 ;)
