Laziness is a choice that I want to make more often
At the end of the day, my invisible to-do list haunts me. It is full of all the items that I knew I should have done but didn’t remember to do or simply put off in favor of something else. I spent the day doing things, exhausting myself, but I had nothing of value to…
