anatomy of a tdl

my tdl today!

I've been writing lists for as long as I can remember. As I've gotten older I have now perfected my list making to a science. I usually make a list for a single day or for an entire week at a time. Depending on what I really need to get done I pepper the list with some gimme items. For me it is important to get the satisfaction of crossing something off! So if I put something easy like: take out cat liter, eat lunch!, or go to the gym... I know that I will get to cross something off. Seeing the scratched through stuff really makes all the difference. It gets the ball rolling an definitely kicks my ass in gear to accomplish the rest of the list.
