My To-Do list.... things get crossed out AFTER they are well and truly done, finished, completed, and sufficient. I am not a politician, and I don't consider a job completed because I talked about doing it. I don't trust people who talk like that; Politicians who talk like that are usually lying because they know they will never actually do anything.

Radish... I picked them all this time, and planted more. Lot's of greens for the flock, but not a ton of radishes for the fridge. Enough to be worth it. Next year they get more space allotted. I also co-planted some green onion. The ones I planted early-spring did nothing of note.

I've taken to calling it the 'Morning Moisture'. Any day the weather report does not show willing, I am giving the garden 20 minutes of light rain using the hose. Three sets covers the whole thing and I need not sit there and watch. I mean, I DO, with coffee and cigar, but I don't have to.

Robert Heinlein

"Do not confuse "duty" with what other people expect of you; they are utterly different. Duty is a debt you owe to yourself to fulfill obligations you have assumed voluntarily. Paying that debt can entail anything from years of patient work to instant willingness to die. Difficult it may be, but the reward is self-respect.

But there is no reward at all for doing what other people expect of you, and to do so is not merely difficult, but impossible. It is easier to deal with a footpad than it is with the leech who wants "just a few minutes of your time, please — this won't take long." Time is your total capital, and the minutes of your life are painfully few. If you allow yourself to fall into the vice of agreeing to such requests, they quickly snowball to the point where these parasites will use up 100 percent of your time — and squawk for more!
So learn to say No — and to be rude about it when necessary.
Otherwise you will not have time to carry out your duty, or to do your own work, and certainly no time for love and happiness. The termites will nibble away your life and leave none of it for you.

(This rule does not mean that you must not do a favor for a friend, or even a stranger. But let the choice be yours. Don't do it because it is "expected" of you.)"
