Lists...Lists...Lists

Will they ever end?

One list turns into two, two turns into three

A never ending list of lists

No matter how many things are accomplished

Or how many things are crossed off

It feels like it will just go on forever

Lists are supposed to be helpful

They help organize, keep things manageable, and keep you focused

At times they do.

But other times they feel like impossible mountains to climb

Causing stress and anxiety to build and build

Trying to be realistic and make reasonable lists can seem difficult

Not putting everything and anything on a list

Not getting carried away with project after project and goal after goal

Being fair to yourself and managing expectations

Your life shouldn’t be contingent on lists, life is more than what’s on a list
