As a child, Bronwyn used to die a little bit on the inside every time her stepfather would say, brightly, “Okay, here’s the list!” and start writing down what needed to be accomplished that day; as far as she was concerned, “list” was synonymous with “half the day lost in tedious chores and busywork”; thus, when her dear friend/personal pillar of wisdom said “you need to make a list of what you want to get done, and it doesn’t need to be a big list, in fact, it should be doable, so that you can feel as if you’ve accomplished something,” Bronwyn could not help but pull the face of all faces...but lo and behold, the pillar of wisdom was right, leaving Bronwyn to conclude that listmaking is one of those pleasures lost on children and best saved for adulthood, like brandy, tapenade, Scrabble, and co-ed skinnydipping.
