You spend a day【B2】______fires, but by the end of the day, you haven’t accomplished any of the really important things you set out to do. In desperation, you draft a "to-do" list. But most days, you can【B3】______with it. When you look at the list each morning, a big fat cloud of 【B4】______is right at the top—those difficult, complex, important tasks that are so【B5】______to get done and so easy to avoid Plenty of us create a "todo" list to address feelings of being【B6】______, but we rarely use these tools to their best effect. They【B7】______being guilt—provoking reminders of the fact that we are【B8】______, and losing control of our priorities. According to Timothy Pikle, a professor of psychology at Carlton University in Ottawa, people often draw up a "to-do" list and then that’s it. The list itself becomes the day’s【B9】______, allowing us to feel we’ve done something useful without taking on any real work. In fact, drawing up the list becomes a way of avoiding the work itself. "Too often, the list is seen as the accomplishment for the day, reducing the immediate guilt of not working on the tasks【B10】______by investing energy in the list," says Pikle, "when a list is used like this, it’s simply another way in which we lie to ourselves."
