Between The Ears

Doing The To Do List

Get up, do tax, extend overdraft, give pills to cat, explore foreign rights, check diving charts, book honeymoon, pack knickers, have baby - anything and everything can go on The To Do List. Trying to make sense out of the busy muddle that makes up our lives is a vital part of survival for many. And ticking off the items is a blissful joy, while the un-ticked glower back and are moved on to the next page.

Whether it's a nuclear submarine commander remembering his medals, or a poet sorting out the polystyrene under the sink, or the comedian just trying not to lose it, 'Doing The To Do List' taps into people's need - sometimes their obsessive need - to put order into the threatening chaos of their lives. Hold tight for a bumpy ride through The To Do List.
