Yes, I am a “list person.” I have a long to-do list both personally and professionally. I find great satisfaction and accomplishment from eagerly crossing off items from the list.

Any time I have a spare moment, I think about my to-do list. It is a habit; one I badly need to break. I realize I have a lot to do, but most of the time when I get a break in my evening, I would rather watch television or read or hold my kiddos or spend time with my husband or sing or think in silence or…I think I need to add these recurring “tasks” to my to-do list. It might help ease the guilt of “ignoring” my to-do list and help me re-frame my internal struggle with “productivity.”

Please tell me I am not the only one who battles with this. Please.
