Optimistic October: Day 13 - A Spontaneous Thing

Today's challenge is a bit of an odd one for me, because to-do lists are very much not my forte, so I thought I'd flip this one on my head.


I use todoist to keep track of my to-dos at home. I say "use," but really that means I use todoist to record a whole heap of things that I'm probably not going to get around to.

So, today I spontaneously did some things on my to-do list:

  • One was called "Q&A entry," which refers to a diary of sorts in which I am supposed to answer a daily question for five years. The entry was 211 days overdue. I caught up a bit (but not completely).
  • I'm going to America soon, and it occurred to me the other day that I'd need money while I'm there, so I put it on my to-do list (which is a surefire way to make sure it gets forgotten). I got that process in motion.
  • I put my name down to do a talk for Big MathsJam in November. This'll be my fourth (I think) Big MathsJam and I've promised myself I'll offer a talk each time. Now I've done it, if it's accepted I'll have no choice but to actually write it.
I can say with complete honesty that without any prior planning I decided on a complete whim to be not spontaneous today: what did you do?
