A list can be a weight or a kindness. Today, make it a kindness. Keep it short and true. Remove anything that belongs to another week. Keep only the tasks that make this particular day feel complete when sundown arrives.
Write slowly. As you form each line, ask if it serves a real need. If it does, keep it. If it does not, let it go. The day thanks you for this. You are not denying ambition. You are placing it in a shape that can breathe.
When the list is ready, fold it once. Put it where your hands will find it without thought. Move through it in a humane order. Alternate the heavier lines with lighter ones. Stand up every so often and reset your posture. The list is not a fence. It is a track. It guides without confining.
End by crossing the last line with a steady stroke. That mark is not a victory banner. It is a release. The day held you, and you held it back.
