I tend to keep my to-do lists in some very strange places. Recently my evening to-do list was stuck to my favorite black-and-white polka dot coffee cup. The reason? Each time I picked it up to take a sip of steaming hot cocoa I was reminded that I should actually be working on conquering my list. This tactic did actually help since I knocked everything off of the list before bed.
Also seen here are some of my favorite things:
- a small black elephant I bought from Target with a dear friend ages ago
- gumballs leftover from my Mom’s birthday celebration
- the new Taylor Swift album my friend Taylor burnt for me (SO good!)
- my GRE study supplement (which has been barely used)
I believe that all spaces should be filled with things you love. If it’s not practical or it’s not something you love then it has no room in your life. I use this philosophy when pairing down things I own and donating. Those pants that don’t fit just right? Gone. That sweater that sags a little when I wear it? Gone.
I only have room in my life for the things (and people) I love the most. The rest of it will have to find somewhere else to be.
