Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done.

That title is a bit of a mouthful! I also toyed with the idea of borrowing a line from Strong Bad Email #61 to go with “To-Do List this Sunday, Sunday, Someday” or something like that.

Anyways, on to today’s prompt.

I use Google Calendar all the time, and I have the Google Tasks widget on my phone’s secondary home screen. The neat thing about this widget is I can check things off the list based on what tasks are pre scheduled on my Calendar AND I can add my own items directly in the widget. Makes it easy to add things on the fly if I need to remind myself of something that needs doing. Unfortunately, if something has a due date assigned then it appears in the list chronologically, and anything without a date appears at the bottom. So as it stands, I have several items at the bottom of the list that I forget exist. Just simple reminders of things I can or should be doing with my time.

• Books
• Games
• Gym routine/schedule
• Lifestyle plan? (And yes, it has the question mark)
• Meal Plan
• Minis

Technically the items Books, Games, and Minis are more like suggestions while the rest are actual To-Do items. I like to keep them on the list anyway.

So, as you can see in the list there are a few “planning” items and they never seem to get done…

For those that are curious, the “Lifestyle Plan?” To-Do item is there to remind me that I need to take some time to reconsider how I structure my use of time every day and my priorities if I want to achieve goals. Sadly, I also avoid it because lifestyle changes are difficult.

I’ll get to them eventually.
