Everything you should do
You are the target of your shoulds .... targets get stuck.
I have a hand written list of everything I think I should be doing. I have a typed supplemental list of approximately 3 pages of everything else I think I should be doing based on the hand written list.
I’ll add another should right now. I should tear both lists into strips containing only one should. I should drop them in a hat and each day pull 3 or 5 or 10 and evaluate my desire to do that should on that day or to throw the should back in the hat. Finally I should throw away the hat which contains all the strips with each should because I should have a desire to do something like that.*
That should make me feel better.
Or does it make me feel stuck?
How many shoulds are sticking out of you right now?
*Yes, shoulds multiply quickly under the right conditions.
