My Lists

I'm a fan of lists.. Not out of an anal compulsion to complete them, but to keep focused on what I feel is important. With today's increasing distractions, electronic and otherwise I could spend all my time being distracted and never do what I need to do. Note that what I need to do is not necessarily what society prescribes or values. For instance, I need to play my guitar more, not to get my songs on itunes and make a bunch of money, just to play. Sometime it gets hard to discriminate between these things, and as a wise person once said, " You can do anything, you just can't do everything." Lists help me to concentrate primarily on the things that sustain my basic existence and then concentrate on what makes me smile, Like my wife's smile and playing my guitar... So , make the lists, do the things and resist the distractions. Unless they become the thing you need to do.
