The Thing About To-Do Lists

To-Do lists:
Are helpful when your brain won't remember anything.

Are helpful when you are feeling a little bit lazy.
Are helpful motivators.

BUT:
Lists can be slightly counterproductive because it is way too easy to get overwhelmed.

When I was looking around for quotes on to-do lists and found this really cool one(including the artsy doodles):



If you do this you, shouldn't have any problems with the but. 🙂
