I won't do what I don't want to do


Again, compelled by another writer and creator, I have to introduce you to the F*ck It List. This is an idea by Amy Krause Rosenthal that is intriguing. Instead of the Bucket List that so many people have been talking about for years now, let's decide what we will not tolerate. What will we refuse to do or put up with?

I think I started working on this idea years ago and love that Amy KR has put it into words. She does wonderful short videos where she takes input from people from all over and combines them to give them a voice. Her work is quite powerful and shows the power of intention.

So, here is another list. I am clearly a list person, as many have probably figured out already. It helps me organize my thoughts;putting things down on paper helps me see things more clearly and prioritize. Since I am such a visual person, if I write things and read them, I am also more likely to remember them.

Amy KR suggests to start with Top 5 things you DON'T want to do.

1. Clean the bathroom.
2. Lose a child.
3. Work in the food service industry. (again)
4. A triathlon.
5. Birth anymore babies.

And, as she did in her list, I will also add...

I will not tolerate:
1. Spending time with toxic people that effect me in overwhelmingly negative ways.
2. Racism.
3. Hate.
4. Not making time to be creative.
5. Being stagnant.

What is your Top 5?
