Are you bored of your typical to-do list? Don’t you wish you could get excited to complete everyday tasks? Do I sound like an infomercial yet, and you’re waiting for me to offer you some robot that does all your work for you? Sorry, I haven’t invented that yet.
All kidding aside, nobody likes long lists. Even more so, nobody likes to see all of his chores laid out on a bland notepad, mocking him to do them already.
