A to-do list,
can misguide us
to focus on getting things
done.
May we remind ourselves
that it is a to-do list,
not a to-done list.
The list may say
spend 1-hour writing,
as opposed to saying
write 1 page.
Some things
don’t get done
by forcing it.
They get done
as a byproduct
of diligence
and persistence.
