Last year this time I had created my small bucket list of '10 things to do before I die'. Frankly I am pretty proud of myself as I have achieved 2 out of 10 this year. ( yeah .. I have a long way to go as I am still alive)
This year I have a new list called the 'chuck list' These are day to day activites that I have postponed since eternity.
Yes! There are simple / mundane / random /no
brainer things that take a back seat because I am too bored to do it.
The 3 common phrases that I use are:
1) mentally exhausted ( term I like to use as it sounds cool ! )
2) kids are too small and life is too chaotic ( blame game fools my mind each time )
3) It's a chore ( trust me it is !)
I would rather dream about bigger things in life like ' 10 things to do before I die' ;)
The Chuck List includes Simple things like ORGANIZE my wardrobe - most of you may find this pretty dumb but I have space for my regular clothes, nightwear ,party clothes, goan clothes, swimwears, inners and a huge chunk goes to 'hope clothes' ( clothes that don't fit me anymore but hope to fit me one day ) This reminds me of the next on my chuck list- YOGA. If I cannot prioritize my yoga and exercise then by November 2016 these 'hope' clothes need to go.
What about teaching the kids how to PACK their own clothes for vacations. Though its easier for me to pack as I dont have to haggle about the style/preference of clothes or wait for my preteen to ''make her list" which in my mind takes forever. Thing year I would deal with this self -packing demon and set priorities right.
Why just Physical aspects, even Mentally I need to put a fullstop to somethings that were a part of me but I dont enjoy them anymore like MULTITASK . Its ok to acknowledge the fact that I prefer doing one thing at a time, Last few weeks I have realized that when I do one thing at a time I do a faster, smoother and a better job than multi tasking ..
Oops!!! do I sound old ?? ... Shhhh I am chucking that thought out of my brain right now. I dont need such negativity in my life anymore.. ;)
By the way - blogging had been postponed for a while, looks like I am back with a bang :)
What are the most random and yet essential routine demons on your chucklist this year?
Happy 2016 to all of you.
Love and Light
