Making a List

It’s helpful when making a list
To check back to see if you’ve missed
Something you had to do
Which, without that review,
Might be something you’ve tried to resist.

For at times, there’s so much to be done
That, by crossing things off, one by one,
You can feel satisfied
And delighted inside
You’re completing things under the gun.

As for chores you’d prefer to delay,
Best to get all those out of the way.
Once your goals have been met
You’ll breathe better, I’ll bet
And the next list you’ll get to delay.
