Get r done

The daily prompt is asking – Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done.

Well, let me go look at my long list of lists. Wow, I’m better than I thought I would be. I thought I would have a long list of things that I never get around to doing.

But just a few.

  • Fix front gate door and entrance area to patio.
  • I’ve got some old VCR tapes and slides that I need to get digitally converted.
  • I need to start both my chainsaw and generator to make sure they are in good shape.
  • I’ve got to sort out and get rid of some old family items that someone else could make better use of.

I might have to revise this after my better half reads it and could probably add a dozen things I’m not thinking of but is on her mind.

Ah, good old Peoples drug store. Just one of many boxes of slides. Photo by Mike Hartley

To Do List

The Daily writing prompt asks what is something on your “to-do list” that never gets done.

The first question is which to-do list are you inquiring about. I have several. My photography list, my art list, my home and yard list, my personal list to name a few.

I’m getting better at knocking things off the lists I’ve made. It helps me stay organized and avoid conflicts and maximize my time. I’ve learned to break some items down into manageable tasks.

The one thing that I haven’t gotten done in years is to carve a path and grade it with stone to my lower back yard so I can get the tractor down there instead of push cutting that hill. Maybe this year?

There is one more thing that I have been slack on getting to, and that is visiting my parents gravesite in recent months. I’ll have to cure that soon.
