Guilty as charged

My early To Do Lists tended to be lists of books that I wanted to read, and each time I read one I got a tick. Now, while the writing of a list can be a reward in itself, as any veteran To Do Lister will attest, the real pay-off is the satisfaction that comes from ticking, crossing, or scribbling an item of your list. With one neat action a task that has been bugging you for the longest time is utterly obliterated. Pow! It's gone. Nothing beats a hard-won tick off the list.

Jag skriver fortfarande upp böcker som jag vill läsa, antecknar dem i en liten svart Moleskine. Högst upp på min To Do-lista finns väl "Skaffa sommarjobb". Tråkigt men sant.
