Long before some great man coined the term to-do list,its concept was already well known and implemented in some stupendously innovative ways.Gradually to-do lists became so immensely coalesced with our daily routines that we started involving more than required into them to raise them to the likes of personal diaries.The more we get entangled into materialistic cobwebs,the more will be the content of the to-do lists.The movie 'dusvidaaniya' very justly portrays the concepts of to-do lists wherein a man makes his final list of things to-do before cancer takes his life.
Sometimes all that gives us paramount satisfaction is the sight of all items of the lists being checked.But if you ever take time to analyse any of the previous to-do lists you'd be amazed to find how your priorities and tasks have changed over time.A friend of mine shared this idea with me that she had implemented wherein she jotted down things she'd do if she were to die the next day.Initially she made it once in a month to analyze then she started making it once in a week and found out how her priorities changed.They did mention her care for family but the tasks to implement that care and love differed.Morover if one list talked about one close friend other had no mention of him/her at all.She could only chalk out few things as common."It did teach me to jettison the trash I carried for people or issues that did not matter much.I could analyze the choices that I made in life and their impacts on the future and on my personality.",she shared.Writing down your goals and aspirations does not accomplish them but it does give the right directions and guidance that somehow comes from your own conscience. Food for thought!
