I feel like my 20s were absorbed by attempting to adhere to the list of "the things that you have to do." It was a huge list. Everything from insurance to retirement plans to "preventive" medicine. I felt bossed out of my life, actually. Finally I got to the point where I simply couldn't take it anymore and I quit my hellish life and dispensed with the list. Best decision I ever made.

I’m healthy, walk 5+ miles/day, get SUNSHINE, clean food/water.

GET OUTSIDE!

Same here. I figured the brain and memory is for that purpose. If it’s faulty, there’s a problem and/or a lack of use. The brain needs nutrients and exercise like any other part of our body.

I felt like a loser using that damn planner…never felt like I “got enough done” transferring to do items over and over and over! It felt so great to throw it away!
