Ah, yes. The to-do list. I have one. Actually, I have multiple to-do lists. I’m a Gemini, so I always need more than one of everything. I’ve written somewhere about my to-don’t list, which is nothing more than all the things I am no longer doing/signing up for. For some reason, I cannot find that…so it’s a sign that I need to update!
A to-don’t list is just as important as your to-do list. It spells out all the stuff you are no longer entertaining. As a sixty-year-old woman, this is what I’m scrapping:
:: Staying out late. Yes, I have a bedtime. I cherish my sleep. If you ask me to attend a concert or other such thing that interferes with my sleep, it’s a hard no.
:: Speaking of events, I am no longer interested in being among crowds. I’m a germaphobe and an introvert. ‘Nuff said.
:: I won’t be spending an ounce of my energy trying to reason with unreasonable people. If you have mean-spirited beliefs, I’m not interested in hearing your point of view or defending mine. Bye!
:: I am no longer giving grace to certain family members who continue to uphold harmful systems of oppression. Get with the program or get stepping!
:: I’m done with uncomfortable clothing or shoes. I gave that up a long time ago, but wanted to state that out loud for no damn reason at all.
:: I’m no longer tolerating fake friends. For the record: I see right through these phonies. But I’m polite, so I won’t bother informing them. I prefer to let frenemies think they’re winning. Meanwhile, I’m unbothered and moisturized as they say in some parts.
:: I won’t finish boring books. Why did I ever feel I needed to? Shaking my damn head.
:: Not interested in embarking on guilt or power trips. Meh. And pity parties? RSVP NO.
Anyhoo, that’s my current list. What about you? What are the things you’re no longer doing?
