Ode to the List

There you are staring up at me.  Just waiting for me to give you the attention you deserve.  Then, when I’ve ignored you long enough, you begin to call out to me:

“Finish me!”  “Finish me!”  “Finish me!”

You help me be productive.

You help me focus my time.

You help me feel a sense of joy and accomplishment every time I check off one of your tasks.

I appreciate you for the impact you have on my life.  What would I do without you?

My beloved to do list.
