Do you make lists?

I was just wondering if a lot of people out there are just like me who make lists of about anything. For example, I have a list on the things I would like to do before I turn 50, books I would like to read, immediate things that need to be done etc. I even have a list of hopeless cases! LOL! How about other mylotters, do you make lists? And if you do, have you ever ticked some of the items out to mean that they have been done?

I'm addicted to list making. I feel very accomplished when I can make notes about each thing I've accomplished and cross things off lists. Plus, I forget things very easily and lists help me keep everthing organized and ensure I'll finish things up. I have a list for goals for this year, a list of goals for the next five years (a five year plan), a list of child raising goals I have for my kids, a list of things I'd like to do before I retire and things like that. :smiles:

Yu, I agree, I do too forget things easily and a list makes things a little bit organized. And it gives me a sense of accomplishment I cross something out from my list.

As soon as I reach my office desk, one of the first things I do is to make a list of things to do that day.. It is really helpful.. Also I make lists for shopping, what all to do at the beginning of the month etc..

It has been a habit of mine for a long time making list.Early in the morning I make a list of things to do that day.I always make a list before going for shopping.I make a list of necessary things to carry before I travel.As such I spend quite a bit of money on scribbling pads.

Making a list is a good of keeping track of things and continually reminding us where we are in our goals. I believe I have to make myself one to keep me more focused. Keep it up!

I am also like you, I am the notebook person. I have lots of notebooks that I collect and I wrtie in them fancy things poetry and I have a dream note book. Where I list all my dreams. I also make a daily to do list for the following day. or when i buy things I try to list the things that buy so that i wont end up picking the things that really dont need.

I do have it in my dreams journal. It is a book given to me by Bo Sanchez. He encourages everyone to make the list and include them in our daily prayers for us to succeed. It can help alot, God bless!

It helps me remember and get things organized - so I always have to-do list everyday, shopping list of things I need to buy and my jogging journal to keep track of my consistency and improvement. I couldn't live without my list. LOL

There are two things that you need to have a list. One is your plans for the future and second is your needs for grocery. You need to list those plan of yours for the future in order to keep tract where you are at the moment in your quest to conquer them. You not only need to list them but have that list somewhere you can see everyday. Second is your grocerylist. You need this for you to avoid picking up things in the department store you do not need. And stick to this list... LOL... Keep safety...

i love organizing things. so making lists are must haves for me, i list everything. i even list my grades, my plans, my dreams, my goals for the day. i dont know. maybe i was just being too obsessive compulsive about everything, or its the result of being addicted to scrapbooking.. lol

I also do lists of the important things that I have to do in a day, week or month especially nowadays when I am very busy with my thesis. I keep this list in my cell phone and make sure to set an alarm for it so that I can easily remember them. It keeps me organized in every thing that I do.

I always make a list for many things.Like a list for shopping in the supermarket.And I also have a time box for doing everything in a day.I think a list is useful to do things well.
