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. Some, like cleaning out the storeroom in my Mumbai flat, remain unchecked. Others get done. Lately, I’ve been living alone in my house in Kerala due to work-related reasons. 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!
