to-do

To-do lists are marching orders from your past self, written for the benefit of your future self.

This should spark at least two observations.

First, that you should listen to your past self. After all, they’re you without the luxury of a few more hours experience.

Second, that you should be kind to your future self in two ways. Way one, by doing the things that your past self recommended, and way two, but not giving your future self too many things to do in the form of a to-do list.

After all, your present self deserves some time too. 

Thank you. Let’s have a great day.
