An [honest] to-do list

What if we made negative to-do lists? Ones that focus on the things we need to do badly?

To break the bonds of being the good boy, the hard working boy, the receptive, helpful, trustworthy boy, I made an honest to-do list. A list of things I find it difficult (or even, impossible) to do.

What if I did the bare minimum on a piece of work? What if I pledged to do something and then failed to follow it through? (disappointment)

What if I said something to my parents that I thought might offend or upset them? What would happen? How would I feel?

What if I left the flat without washing, without showering, without doing my hair? How would this make me feel? Experimenting with being ugly, 'unclean' in public?
