Must, Should, Want

Life’s to do list tends to have these three categories, whether you bunch them that way or not.

Things you must do would be things like eating, drinking water and sleeping. Arguably going to work, organising your day and paying bills are must do items too. However, they really are should do items. If you don’t do them, you won’t die from them.

Other less controversial should do’s would be calling a family member, especially a parent, maintaining great health and fitness and also keeping your house looking and working well.

But regardless of all of those items above, you may want to book a holiday, buy some clothes or eat pizza and chips while watching the latest movie in your pjs.

Should’s are often a bit troubling. You may feel guilty if you do not do them. Or the direct, or even indirect, consequences could be quite severe.

All the wants may seem unavailable but super desirable. However, these need to be tempered and prioritised as they are unlikely to all be done.

So make sure you get the big ones in your life.
