Why am I so often filled with discontent
over a to do list I can never satisfy?
No matter what I do,
There is always more.
My list is too long.
But my list is filled with good and important things.
Life is filled to overflowing with good things. (God said, "It is good.")
Which things is one person, with one lifetime,
60 minutes per hour, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year
to choose?
How is one to let go of the rest
during 60 minutes, 24 hours, 365 days, or a lifetime?
I'm not looking for another scheme for organizing and prioritizing,
unless it's one that brings spiritual transformation:
clarity about the most important things for me,
patient discipline in engaging them,
and the ability to let the other good things go.
I really am only one human...60 minutes per hour, 24 hours, 365 days, how many years?
I really can only do so much.
What shall it be?
What shall it be now?

Perhaps you should have more than one list. That way it won't seem so big. One list for each day or each room. I get a joy when I cross something off of my list. A smaller list makes it seem like I am getting more done. Try it.
