When I don't finish everything I tend to feel defeated. I add everything I didn't get done to the next day feeling even more overwhelmed. I've been raised to "do the work first," to make sure "all your ducks are in a row," to "get down to business." Okay, I get it. It's important (and for me, therapeutic) to stay organized. But in the grand scheme of things does it really matter if you didn't clean out your car or go to the gym? Doubt it.
I found this pretty little to-do list and realized I need to give myself more credit for everything I have already, and will accomplish. I graduated from an amazing school, have a job, and a great support system of loving family and friends.
Lesson learned: Take a deep breath. The world isn't going to end because you didn't complete everything you thought you should. Being happy, laughing, and remembering to enjoy everyday should always take 1, 2 and 3 on everyone's to-do lists.
