Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done

My to-do list is always long, but the chances of tasks being left incomplete are slim. This isn’t a boastjust a reflection of how I approach planning. I think carefully before adding anything to my list. After five decades on this planet, I know my limitations. With that awareness, I create a list of tasks I can realistically accomplish.

Here, I stick to a strict routine, ensuring every second of the day has a purpose. Whether it’s weeding the garden, exercising, or cooking, I never skip a task. The reason is simpleI have no one else to blame for slacking off!

First and foremost, I’d set aside a generous portion for myself and my family, ensuring financial security and stability for the ones I love. As for the rest, I’d channel it into causes that truly matterinitiatives that are free of political or agenda-driven motives. My focus would be on local projects that uplift people in my community, benefiting everyone equally, regardless of race, religion, or gender. Because at the end of the day, the true value of wealth isn’t in how… What would you do if you won the lottery?
