Then, as you finish each task, scratch it from the list. As the scrat- ches increase and the jobs decrease. you'll gain a feeling of accomplishment. With your timetable thus organized, you'll find more time for relaxation." His intent was to list the jobs in order of their im- portance rather than their enjoyment and to do the most pressing tasks first. But, wise philosopher that -he was, I'm sure he made ---alloWatideS.T6r cheateis Iike me ' My agenda went like this: efAsetgellu Odds 'n ends Getting organized first, things I like to do; second, tasks that .are easy and can beJione in a hurry; third, longer and more complicated chores, fourth and final, jobs I absolutely deplore. By doing the easy jobs first, I quickly accumulated numerous scratches. At first glance my list looked im- pressive, but I wasn't really fooling myself. I knew the few jobs that remained would take more time and effort than all the smaller ones combined. Items, such as "scrub kitchen floor" and "clean storeroom" went from one day's list to the next and one week's list to the next. I could close the storeroom door and forget it, but I couldn't avoid tromping on the kitchen -"floor. Finally I could stand the dirt no longer. Out came the mop, bucket and wax. and at the end of the evening, I maliciously scratched one more onerous task from the list.... . Meanwhile . the storeroom door stayed shut.
