My new "to do"

I have a lot of things I should do every day.
I should get out of bed, make my bed, feed my children, read my bible, shower, excercise, get dressed, bathe children, brush my teeth, sweep the floor, pray for friends, reach out to neighbors, write notes of encouragement, call my mom, make meals, put laundry away, read to my kids, laugh, memorize scripture and floss. This is not an exhaustive list- just exhausting.
But yesterday I heard of an idea that I think is worth of adding to my list.
Repentance.
It seems to me that just perhaps if I can cultivate a habit of repentance in my daily life that perhaps God will find a softer soil to do his work in all the other "to dos".
I think it's worth a try.
