Lists

[violet]

I make lists. They can be found in all sorts of odd places, often pockets in unworn jackets, under the car seat...lol, not that bad, but I do seem to have a million lists on the go at any time.

Lists can be filled with grocery items to buy, or unusual/extra chores for the day, there are "master lists" of home maintenance chores...I've just finished up one list. That had reminders to cancel a mobile phone plan, change isp, then juggle budget amounts to reflect those changes.

Lists can be written on the back of an envelope, or a nice, fresh sheet of paper, or on cute printables found on the web.

There seem to be too many little bits and pieces of unrelated information to remember now the family's older, so my lists are invaluable reminders. Also there's enormous satisfaction in crossing finished items off as a chore is completed.

Any other list makers out there?

Hi, I am Cara, and I am a total list maker. I need a 12 step program I am so list happy.

I can't seem to function without my lists and I have them all over the house.

I keep journals as well, and also a book of things we are doing to this home...

If it weren't for my lists I wouldn't accomplish as much and your right Violet, there is nothing quite as satisfying as crossing off something from your list.

Good Thread.

My lists can also been found all over the place. They are either on a half sheet of A4, mostly for groceries as I also put the meal plan in the corner, or an envelope. I use the envelopes because my Nana kept a neat pile of recycled envelopes on her mantle and she used those to write on.

Mostly I scribble things on the large squares on the calender above the phone. It used to be neat years ago, now not so neat, and not very private, but there you go.

I also write things in an book and a folder and diary for other specific things.
