I’m trying out this productivity app and I like it and everything but …
I can’t cross stuff out.
Does that make me old? It’s just for me half the goodness of a ‘to do’ list is crossing off the tasks when I’ve done them. Just tapping the screen and having them disappear isn’t in anyway satisfying.
#actually in all honesty since starting uni i have been feeling increasingly old#although there is also the disturbing realization that there are kids starting high school now that weren’t born until after i graduated#how did i get to be so old? i still feel like i’m barely 19 and actually i can pass for 19 very few people believe i’m 27#i did the math and i’m closer in age to some of the lecturers than my fellow students#i printed out my timetable and i write my assignments in a diary rather than reaching for my phone#i still feel old though no matter how young i look#in fact i’d left the university for the first time before my fellow students started high school#they had a find us on social media slide and i didn’t know what half the icons were

No, you’re not old. Well, if you are then I’m old as well. Actually, I’m 27 too so this is probably a moot point. Come sunday I will be making my ‘pre-christmas jobs’ list which is long-hand and usually runs to three pages, and colouring the ones I’ve done in highlighter pens is so incredibly satisfying.
Oooooh color coding? I like that! I have some amazing highlighters actually. I call them the best highlighters in the world because a) they don’t dry out and b) they somehow don’t get dirty, they are just always perfect. I have no clue where I got them but I always like having an opportunity to use them.
I hope you have fun with your jobs list! I’m going to plot how I can use my highlighters somehow 🙂 I mean the phone on the list is portable and efficient as it has all the data re: deadlines etc. in the same small space. It’s just not as satisfying, there has to be some sort of middle ground, hmm…
