I've Got One Thing on My To-Do List
But first… Return email Drop off kid Think about my one thing. Schedule dentist Check the news Start planning my one thing. Pay bill Try to clear my inbox Transfer post-its to digital planner Get set up to start my one thing. Jump on Zoom call for another project Where was I? Check friend feed Admire perfection Scroll Do I really understand my one thing? Revisit ignorant post Get angry Scroll Rework the plan for my one thing. Check the clock Do a fantastic, efficient 20 minutes of work on my one thing. Make dinner Binge watch Sleep Tomorrow, back to my one thing.
The previous poem captured the aspiration. This one captures my Tuesday.
If this resonates, I’d love to hear from you. A comment, a share, or even just a like goes a long way. Writing into the void is its own practice, but knowing the work lands makes it easier to keep showing up.
This is so relatable and so sad.
