We all have our small perfect moments or tasks.
A task which makes us feel on top of the world and assures us that we are very organised.
Because deep down, nothing beats organised thoughts and actions.
Mine is my to-do list in the morning.
Old-world, simple and easy. But oh so satisfying.
When i jot down my daily to-do’s on the list of paper, I feel energised. I have listed and prioritised. I am not talking about the professional diary I write down when I reach my office. That is an auto job. But when while sipping my cup of morning coffee, I write down all the domestic tasks which i need to complete, I experience fulfilment of having my priority of professional and personal life balance.
Because it is so easy to reach the office and get engulfed in the daily targets and to-do’s.
And when we reach home in the evening…..oh god…forgot to call the pest control guy, did not register a complain about the water purifier machine, the bank pass book sitting in my purse waiting to be filled up.
And we promise ourselves……tomorrow surely.
It is not important that we finish all the small jobs we write down. They are easily carried over the next day.
Scratch the ones done, and rewrite them on the TODAY list.
I love doing it….. thinking, writing, listing …. and then looking back with satisfaction at the small, simple piece of paper. The paper which is a symbol of my organised thoughts, plan of actions and my great feeling of satisfaction, maybe superficial, but which says, ‘wow………i am so organised’
