Small trivial things which you ought to do but keeps forgetting about

Well, maybe if you ought to do those things, they aren’t that trivial…

Here’s what I should be doing

  1. Switch off my battery-operated wireless mouse at the end of each workday
  2. Sort through the pile of name-cards I have collected over years and throw out those I don’t care about
  3. Sweep the floor under my bed.

So what’s yours?

  1. gather up the deed and other homeownery paperwork and put it in the fireproof safe we bought for the purpose about 2.5 years ago (when we bought the house)

  2. have a glass of red wine every evening – seems like that should be an easy one, but i seriously NEVER remember

i’m sure there are other things, but i forget…

You want my to-do list? Seriously? What’s the maximum length post allowed on this site?

My taxes. Wait, when are they due?

buy and replace the very odd cylindrical light bulb from the fridge. Did you know there are 2967 different types of lightbulbs. And thats just in my house.

-charge my spare battery
-E-mail back a few contacts
-feed the monster

Buy body soap. I’ve been rubbing shampoo over my whole body for three days now.
Throw away that Dead Thing in the back of the fridge that I think used to be a bag of salad.
Sleep.
Wash that mysterious sticky substance under the mouse pad.
Finally learn how to turn off my ipod nano.

Press and hold the pause button. Voila. You can check that off your list. Your welcome. :wink:

Shit that reminds me - I need to buy body soap. And shaving cream.
A man should not smell like mango’s, papaya and pomegranite.

  1. Prevent computer desk from wobbleing using 1 screw and 1 screwdriver. Both of which are on said desk, the one I am using now. It would take less time then it took me to write this. Ill do it later though, i did a fix a couple weeks ago using a handful of playing cards. ill secure it later

  2. Move computer monitor I trip over everyday from floor to shelf.

  3. Open this package I got a month ago.

Ahhh. Y’all are having one of my favorite words. A velleity. The lowest order of volition. A desire to see something done, but not enough desire to make it happen.

Remember to bring my reusable bags to the grocery store with me.

Gah! I have so many! They are never, ever used. :frowning:

  1. Post a letter I’ve been meaning to for weeks
  2. Reply to numerous emails & text messages
  3. Put my registration sticker on my car windscreen (preferably before it expires in November)
  4. Go food shopping instead of getting takeaway all the time
  5. Throw out the bag of rubbish in the backyard

Me too. They’re not particularly hard or complicated, I’m just…not doing them yet (due at the end of April here). At least I got my passport renewed. :slight_smile:

I meant to paint the insides of our cupboards this winter. Haven’t painted a single one.

The screen goes black but I can still faintly hear the music.

Shred. I put the stuff to the side, then in a bag, then two bags and so on. I dont know why I get so many credit card offers, but I do. If I would just take the time to shred when I get them I wouldn’t be putting out a landscape bag of shreds for the recycling truck this week.

[lightbulb-induced hijack]
The light fixture in my kitchen came from Lowe’s. The first one I bought came with a broken bulb so I exchanged it for one with a good bulb. While trying to put the bulb in, my brother dropped it and it went smashy all over the kitchen (those CFL’s shatter like nobody’s business). So we went to Lowe’s for a new bulb.

And in a whole aisle of lightbulbs representing all 28,479.2 types of lightbulb known to man, Lowe’s did not have a replacement bulb for that fixture. Which I bought there.

Back on topic, I really need to put that stack of cardboard that’s been in the cellar since October out for the recycling, call for an eye doctor appointment that I got a reminder postcard for two years ago in May, and put the snow shovels away (last year I managed to put that off until Memorial Day)

Spelling. Don’t forget spelling.

Thank you for this ever-so-useful word!

I hope I get around to working it into my regular vocabulary.
