I make a whole lot of to-do lists. Sometimes, I even finish a few of the items on them ...

To Do List

By Brian Bilston

• delay • defer • equivocate
• make some tea • procrastinate
• look at Facebook • stroke the cat
• readjust the thermostat
• dawdle • dither • hem and haw
• fill the kettle • chew my jaw
• write nine words • spin on chair
• play six games of solitaire
• observe the merry, dappled light
dancing on the page of white
• review my words • paper scrunch
• stroke the cat • break for lunch
• prioritise new tasks to shirk
• ponder changing world of work
• look at Facebook • spin on chair
• make a brew • loiter • stare
• reorganise the kitchen drawer
• attempt the crossword • eat coleslaw
• write nine words • cross six out
• stroke the cat • stoke self-doubt
• make tea • stroke cat • Facebook • stare
• coleslaw • chair-spin • solitaire
• stroke tea • make cat • chair-slaw • wallow
• write To Do list for tomorrow

I'll bet this is how most of you approach your to-do lists as well, Dear Readers.

Have a good day and enjoy the rest of your weekend. More thoughts coming.
