To Have a Not-to-do List

Like most people, you probably have a to-do list to help you finish a task. However, I would also suggest you make a not-to-do list. This list works well with the to-do list and it might be even more important. Let me explain.

This is Mike. He loves video games and plays them every day. But he also has an important exam coming up. So Mike puts studying on his to-do list. That day, Mike picked up the books and studied for half an hour. Then he took a short break and played some games. However, he got so into the game that he played for three hours.

The next day, Mike took on the challenge of studying in a different way. He decided to make a not-to-do list as well. And what he wrote down was, “No video games until 7:00 pm.” Mike went to study, did it for half an hour, and then took a break. However, he didn’t get on his computer like the day before because he didn’t allow himself to play at that time. Instead, he drank a glass of water. Then he returned to studying for three hours more on that day.

Mike realized that having no restrictions (限制) was the problem. He was always choosing between work and free time. Because enjoying himself was an easier choice, hardly any work got done as a result. So Mike made a not-to-do list.

Sometimes what you choose not to do matters more than what you decide to do. We shouldn’t just limit our “bad” behaviors but our “good” behaviors as well. For example, practicing the piano could be considered a good habit. But when you have other more important things in the moment, the piano becomes nothing more than a distraction (注意力分散). However, there’s one thing that should never end up on your not-to-do list. That is to learn something new every day.

1. What did Mike write on his not-to-do list?
________________________________________
2. How long did Mike study the next day?
________________________________________
3. According to Paragraph 4, what problem did Mike realize?
________________________________________
4. Would you like to make a “not-to-do list”? Why or why not? (At least two reasons.)

Do you ever worry that you might waste food? During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people around the world were going hungry. But people came up with a special way to try and help—putting fridges filled with food outside for people who needed it. The movement was very popular in some countries.

However, this trend(趋势) started before the COVID-19. Back in 2016, a restaurant owner in Kochi, India, had the idea late one night when she saw a lady looking for food in a trash bin. She was really sad because that night her restaurant had made lots of food but wasted some.

In the UK, the idea of communal(公用的) fridges was used in Sommerset to fight against food waste and poverty, encouraging people to donate and also take unwanted food. UK supermarkets and eateries like Marks &Spencer and Greggs have helped.

Now there is a large movement in the UK providing communal fridges. The charity, Hubbub, has worked with The Community Fridge Network. It supports groups running communal fridges across the UK. Now there are over 300 fridges in the UK.

“A fridge is so much more than a fridge,” said Hubbub’s official website. “The fridges bring people together and provide them with the opportunity to get healthy food, try something new and save money.”
