Someday Fun: List Procrastination
By Alex Fayle

My favourite comic strip, Stone Soup, tackled the dreaded to-do list on Sunday and I just had to share it with you.

So, who other than me does this sort of thing? C’mon be honest…

(But of course in my case, it’s not really procrastinating because I can use such lists as the basis for a blog post.)

P.S. Check out my latest guest post on Remarkablogger - Why Can’t I Be You? Why Comparisons are Bad for Your Blog Health.

P.P.S. You also need to go read Dave Navarro’s latest post on conscious choice, which is the only way to cure Someday Syndrome.



Get rid of your Somedays and make the big change you’ve always dreamt about. Check out:

    No, no, no, no, no … my lists are an important part of task performance. *sneaks away before anyone calls my bluff*

    Yep, *agrees with Urban* Must have lists, must have lists…can’t function without them.

    But yes, The best way to get ONE thing done is to put something ELSE n the list. THe one thing suddenly looks better! Don’t ask me why it works that way, but it does!

    I also have a list of my own. And I make sure that I follow my list. What is the use of the list if you don’t follow it.

    @Diana
    Welcome to the blog! Sorry but Askimet didn’t seem to like you - same thing happened over at Brett’s blog too I noticed (Silly Askimet!)

    @UP, @Wendi & @Diana
    Lists that are to-do lists are great, especially if you follow them - but do you ever make lists like Val does in the comic strip - non-functional lists that exist only as time wasters?
