How well my day went & how effective I was at sticking to my list

[Zachary Burt]

Last night before I went to bed I made a list of 10 things that, if I were to complete, I would feel that I had a productive day. I ordered them in descending difficulty, so that the most difficult was first on the list, and then downwards. I accomplished 9 out of 10, which was pretty good, but I don't feel like I gave 100% to each task. For example, on at least two of the tasks, I completed them on a "yes I did what I set out to do" level, but I could have gone much further, which would have led to a feeling of greater satisfaction, and who knows what kind of long-run psychological benefits that would yield? Compound interest is probably most devastating when applied to large sums of money, but second most effective when applied to our choices. Would it better to have simply listed 5 tasks and made sure that I did them, no questions asked? Another thing I did was shoot hoops, which I've done for 5 days in a row now, but I didn't give myself credit for that or put it on the list, even though I really feel like playing basketball moves me closer to my goals of who I want to be, on both practical and symbolic levels.
