About two weeks ago I decided to make a fire contingency plan and some fire safety checklist, I also resolved that we need to educate our daughter on the topic, as soon as she starts to understand the issue (which still won’t be the case for some time). So I created a new task in the “ideas” task list on my mobile. A task list is such a powerful productivity thingy!

Well, today we had a little kitchen mishap, luckily without damage (if not counting a totally burnt apron, melted cutting board and soot all over). It sort of reminded me about what I commited to the task list. I must add a task “act now!” to my evergrowing personal task list :-|

But seriously, I am not bitching about my personal task system, since I obviously misjudged the gravity of the issue. I assumed that I will arrange for fire safety in an unforeseen future, and it could have backfired today. It was like resolving to fasten seatbelts sometime in the future - not very clever to say the least. Today’s platitude: If there’s anything to do about safety, act now!
