I have those unfinished, unaccomplished to do lists, too. I'll find a list from a year ago, and shit - I never did mulch the flower bed! Sigh. Maybe all of these people who claim to be on top of their tasks are just chronic liars who cram shit into closets and under the beds, like I never did as a child.

That final addendum 😆 Also, that explains it, their hot mess is just hidden.

My AI keeps adding things I never even mentioned to my to-do list. Pelvic floor exercises, buy anti-aging creams, schedule an appointment with a therapist... I'm starting to think someone else has access to my computer!

I think sorting laundry is a myth, much like “a balanced breakfast” or that thing people call “working out”.

Anything is a balanced breakfast if you stand on one foot while eating it. :)

Sometimes I’ll make a weekend To Do list. But then I get distracted and do stuff that isn’t on the list. So I add those to the list and then cross them off right away, so that at the end of the weekend, I can see what I’ve accomplished (even if I didn’t do anything from the original list…)

😆😆 You're a productivity genius. I too also add things to the list I did that weren't on the list, 'tradesies' seems fair.

Life seems to be an endless repetition. I have been making meals, making clean laundry, making a clean-ish home, and being a grocery shopping self since I was about 9. It’s the endless boredom of never having an empty laundry basket, but having a perpetually empty fridge. I finish eating supper only to start thinking about tomorrow’s dinner. I’d love a week where I wasn’t tied to this same same existence, without having to pay thousands of dollars for a vacation.

Ah, the real world, where is it? Kudos to all singles, especially les femmes, who have to do everything on their own. And now living without a prostate, I do get the sneeze thing!

I didn't know that about the prostate--interesting!

TMI perhaps. Males are born with 2 sphincters on the urethra, one is the prostate. So when that is gone kegel, kegel, kegel till you giggle!

If I had an AI assistant, or ANY assistant, it would mess up all those reasons for things I do to procrastinate so I don't get around to doing the things I really should be doing.

The mere suggestion that an AI could "help you with content" is obscenity of the lowest order. Fie, I say, fie!

I used to be an obsessive list maker, but the worst list finisher. I stopped making lists, and I get so much shit done now.

I’ve never had any want of an AI or robot assistant, but boy, if I could purchase the Jetsons’ Rosie, I would in a heartbeat. I’d also take Sonny from I, Robot as well!

It doesn’t matter what “time-saving” conveniences we humans come up with, we find even more ways to take up our time.

Ooh Sonny from I, Robot is a good one too! But solid point about us filing in the 'time-saving' blanks.

Maybe do the garage thingy during the inauguration might do the trick.

You had me at Timey-Wimey! Doctor Who fan here! As for my procrastination list, sorting through old clothes and shoes (again); getting up in my garage rafter space to sort through all the stuff we placed there 8-plus years ago when we moved into our present home; and take a trip overseas after 14 plus years.

I ignore some things on my lists but add the stuff I DID do so I can cross them off and get my hit of dopamine.
