Committing to the List

There is only one way to avoid it, make a list. Once you’ve written it, you have committed to it; somewhere in the deep clutter of your overexposed mind you have managed to make a primitive commitment to the task, just by noting it on your list.

Organizing Lists

Our lives revolve around our lists. Our to-do lists give our days structure and provide an excuse for procrastination; moving an item to the bottom of the list means we don’t have to deal with it right away but our minds assure us that it is still on the list, therefore we are not really procrastinating.
