I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 222: A To-Do List Gone Awry
In all fairness, I didn't start writing my to-do list at 5pm. And it merely consisted of emailing someone, updating my blogs, finishing a book, going for a run, and filling out my IRB application. By 6pm, I was tired and decided to take a nap. 2.5 hours later, I wake up. "Well, so much for my to-do list!" I think to myself. Then I realize that I still have all night to get stuff done.
So some stuff on my list, I got done. Some stuff, I did not. Some stuff, I'm working on right now (updating my blog). And some stuff I didn't even have on the list, but I got them done regardless. I reserved several rooms/spaces on campus for my student group to hold events. That felt pretty damn good to get done. I looked at a site for merchandise we could possibly sell at our table events.
So despite the fact that I didn't get everything done on my to-do list today, I'm okay with that. Because there is always tomorrow.
