The Tale of the Ever-Growing To-Do List

(An Office Urban Legend)

They say deep in a forgotten Google Doc, there lives a task list that grows by the hour.

No one remembers who made it.

Some say it was a VP who never said no.
Others blame the intern who color-coded with no mercy.

But every time someone adds a task... it multiplies.
Two more appear.

People have tried everything:
✅ Time blocking
✅ Priority codes
✅ Deleting the doc
(It reappears.)

Moral of the story?
If your to-do list feels like it’s alive and feeding on your sanity—
It’s time for a Power List.
Three key tasks. One real focus.

Stake that monster through the heart. 🔪
