I like to-do lists, but Iām not very good at completion, so they can be depressing. So sometimes I like to make a donāt-do list: a handful of things that I may have once considered but have decided not to pursue. If Iām feeling particularly like I need closure, I can strike through the item and consider it done, or at least off the table.
Todayās Donāt-Do List
1.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā DONāT join the community college symphonic band
2.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā DONāT buy a vintage car (or scooter) and attempt to restore it
3.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā DONāT start a blog called āDear Teresaā and write weekly stories to my daughter
4.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā DONāT tackle an upholstery project
5.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā DONāT volunteer for Answerland, Oregonās virtual reference website
Not all of these are bad ideas. Theyāre just not for me, at least not at this time.
Whatās on your donāt-do list?
