Put off today

I'm going to step off onto a bad idea limb of this tree we're growing here. Bad idea in a single sense. Bad idea like so many of our ideas if they fall into the wrong and ill equipped (read: almost anyone's) hands. But, I progress.

You're feeling overwhelmed, overburdened, taxed, defeated, filled, destroyed, demolished, destitute and dead. I mean, maybe not right now, but at some point you sure are. Too many things. Too little time. At burst point. Two things you can do. 1) Die. 2) Make a list.

Today's idea is for number two. Make a list of the things you can put off until tomorrow. Write in big letters a title you like for it like "PUT OFF UNTIL TOMORROW" or "THE I DON"T HAVE TO DO THIS RIGHT NOW LIST" or "EFF THESE THINGS THEY BE GOING ON THE BACKBURNER FOR NOW...SUCKAS." This will make you feel good. Lighter. It will also make you feel more organized. Cause once you write this list, these things are on the way side and get to go out of mind. You list-ifyed them and said: "Not today my chumblies."

I'm serious tho. There are things you need to do today and there are things you don't. Maybe a proper way to do this is to break off the little bits of things that you do need to do today and get a name going for whatever the rest of it is that you don't. This is all.
