Crazy as it sounds... but lately all that I have been doing is making lists, analysing lists, making it again and again...... And please ask me why......because that's what everyone around me is telling me. Make lists and then do work , execution is easier when planning is good. As if I have never heard of the saying. But give me a break.
To put everyone at ease, I love making lists... but at workplace. Where I know what has to be done, where only your mind is supposed to be involved, where you have so many targets to meet and where you have limited time at hand. But How can you put your personal life in lists...it makes everything so predictable...no scope for spontaneity, no avenues for surprises, just bland life...living around lists. I feel I'm going a little hyper about lists; in fact not little but total hyper. So much so that the last night I had a nightmare that I was sitting on a desk and around me were sheets filled with " lists" - the shopping lists, the important dates lists, grocery lists, the priority list, the family list, the to do list.......and so on. Gosh it was really really terrible. I like to be organised but not to this extend....where planning takes away the emotions. Now, where is the thrill to shop when there is no last minute emergency, what will all excuses do if you can wish everyone on time, who will be upset if everybody gets their gifts....you see making lists makes life so uninteresting. Nothing filmi anymore...huh.
Making lists is a necessary art and sometimes a lifesaving one , more so at office. I have had my moments when these lists have saved me. So learn it, if you want to do well in life. What I can't digest is why everyone wants me to show the same list making talent my personal life too. Now those who know me ...know how difficult it is for me. For those who don't know me..live in the blissful ignorance of my real talents. But I don't want to tell you all the importance of making lists...this post is to share the torture of making lists.
In the last month or so - I have done it all, used different note pads - plain sheets, lined sheets, recycled sheets, coloured sheets, soft sheets...; different coloured pens - glossy pens, pilot pens, gel pens ....; PowerPoint's, word document, my phone applications, my email calenders...and everything...but ye lists he ke khatam hi nai hoti. And then you have to make so many changes all the time, additions, subtractions, permutations and combinations to make you go crazy. This list making gets crazier day by day. And believe me it is a big torture to make them and then keep reworking on them. When will I enjoy doing things when all my energy is consumed in making lists. What to do ? So I have decided to let go of lists....and continue...especially my shopping spree.
By the way, I just ticked on the task that said....write a post!
Happy New Year to everyone reading the post.
