Tick

Twice a day, my phone reminds me to take medication. Once a week, to fill in my timesheet. Once every second week to take out the recycling. Once every six months to replace the water filter. I adore a good checklist although I often end up ignoring them. There have been items on my to do list that have stayed there for years. It's a bit strange since the best part of a list is ticking off the last item on it, but I guess cleaning out the pile of boxes in the basement just doesn't seem important enough especially when I should probably vacuum first and it's been a long day so maybe I'll just sit down in front of the TV for five minutes.
