Yes, I know the title of this doesn't really scan, leave me alone.
My to-do list has five columns. One of these is simply titled "Life" and includes entries ranging from "eat", and "read for book club"
to "write review for x" and "make powerpoint for z". It basically includes all the things I have to get done that I don't *technically* owe my supervisors or my bosses at the internship or the committee chair or the bid area head. And also, you know, remembering to get the stupid squid rings that I've wanted to eat for Clean Monday (15/03) out of the damn freezer [1].
I was never particularly good at to-do lists. Or structure. Or anything resembling discipline. Which is why I'm in a field that is 9/10ths admin, obviously. A credit to my institution. But they are absolutely necessary in this hell year so here I am, splitting them up in columns so that the sight of them doesn't drive me to despair. I'm not going to post my embarrassing to-do lists here but I am going to use this space to monitor the things I want to read and listen so that, at least, that's a few things that I won't have to put under the silly little "Life" header.
[1] This prestigious task was finally achieved today 18/03. The squid rings were rubbery but I ate the entire bag with great relish.

God those tables are ugly HUH.
Anyway I'm only a meager 4% through LYB but in my defense it is, like, a billion thousand pages so I think I'm forgiven. More worryingly I'm a third through Hell and Earth but I need to have finished it a week ago for research reasons. Guess what I'm reading tonight? You're probably right if you guessed Guardian.
