This Year’s To-Do List

It feels good to know that I’m not the only one that has the same list of not have to do’s! Whew! (I was getting a bit worried that I’m too weird… ;)

Be a minimalist!! YES! I love my stuff

YES to including “be a minimalist” in the things you DON’T have to do! As a collector of many things, I will never, ever be a minimalist and, whilst I can appreciate it for what it is, I am fine with never being one – it just feels like everyone who IS one isn’t fine with it! Let me have my 25+ coffee mugs and money boxes that are shaped like other things if it makes me happy. They’re not hurting anybody!

YES, THIS IS THE BEST!!!!!! Thank you for the “do not have to do” items!

I absolutely love this list! My favorite from the have to list is “stop pressing snooze” because it is nice to know getting out of bed is not a struggle for just me. My favorite from the not to list is “understand how to style wide leg pants” because, good gracious, it is impossible to perfect and carry out every new fashion trend out there. :)

I so feel not needing to finish an article. I have fifty-something tabs open on my phone and most are articles I’m planning to finish sometime.

Love this list so much I shared it on my blog today to brighten my readers up! https://www.shessobright.com/2018/01/22/6-links-to-brighten-your-week-18/

I have stopped trying to read every article ever and joining a book club. LOL

Great tips for life. People ought to restrain from certain activities but need to find what those activities are.

For all of those things we just don’t have to do here is some guidance and inspiration. Hilarious, yet spot on. *warning! NSFW Adult language ahead* https://youtu.be/GwRzjFQa_Og
Cheers! (And amen to everyone who refuses to finish a book that isn’t worth their time!)

Love this!!

These are so great. My bf and I tossed around the idea of buying a tiny home for awhile and then were just like…..yeah let’s stop pretending- they are super cool but we are just NOT minimalists! Lol

Best one yet.

#1 comment- practice good dental hygiene! As a dentist, I thank you for the PSA!

Don’t forget to squeeze a lemon over your pasta and peas! I love the onion dip thing….I still make it occasionally for the same reason that I occasionally stir up a can of plain old Campbell’s Tomato soup to dip my grilled cheese sandwich into….because nothing else is quite the same. The oldies but goodies are just that. We love them because they are familiar and delicious. There are times when I don’t want gourmet anything…. I just want the real thing….like Coke!

Oh, I love this one.

Best one yet.

Amen, sister.

I especially resonate with the ‘feeling guilty about enjoying something.’ Self-love doesn’t really need to be so gloom.

Holy goodness this one gave my heart pause and let me breathe a long sigh of relief. Thank you for the forgiveness and reminder, Mari, you are a treasure.

I always love Mari’s illustrations on Fridays! They are fun, but they also make me think and reflect. This one was especially good. Thank you, Mari, for giving me the permission I didn’t realize I needed to let go of things that aren’t working for me!

Every time I read about Facebook or Instagram, I’m so happy that I don’t have any social media accounts. I deleted mine when I was pregnant with my first kid and I’ve never missed it. If you’ve ever thought about deleting your accounts, you can do it!

HOW. IS. SHE. ALWAYS. RIGHT?

“Understand how to style wide leg pants.” Whew! I just CANNOT get on board with that trend!

I love it. It really helps!

“Things You Do Not Have To Do: Follow Anyone on Social Media Who Makes You Feel Insecure”

What if that person is a good friend of yours and someone you genuinely love but are sick of their workout posts with their perfect abs? (Which I don’t have, hence, making me feel insecure)
