What's on my not-to-do list?

I have a lot of to-do lists. I use old notepads and the backs of envelopes. Sometimes I'll find a fresh journal to help me feel like I've made a new start. I've also got an electronic version in my calendar. It's overwhelming, because it always looks like I have a lot to do.

I'm going to make a not-to-do list and then not do these things. Take the pressure off. Maybe I'll do some of them later, but maybe not. Here's the start of my list:

• Don't repaint the outside of the house with a better color until it really needs new paint.
• Don't grow all of my own food.
• Don't groom my dog myself.
• Don't invite people over who can't handle sitting on an ugly couch.
• Don't whine about taxes.
• Don't send Christmas cards.
• Don't friend people on facebook who wouldn't invite me to dinner.
• Don't try to fix other people's problems.
• Don't watch movies adapted from favorite novels (except Lord of the Rings).
• Don't read bumper stickers.
• Don't re-watch all three seasons of Downton Abbey before the new season starts.

I feel lighter already.
