I’ve inherited several wonderful traits from my father. One of them, list-making, has become a lifesaver, especially when my mind goes into overdrive. As it often does. Lists slow me down. They take the crazy out of out my head and plant it onto paper. They help me sleep at night and start my day in the morning. When in doubt, I make it list.
So, in honor of my love of lists and my desire to keep shit exceedingly simple right now, I present you—the lazy girl’s guide to happiness.
