i have this habit of always making a list when i go shopping or even when i am packing for going on a trip..I am highly uncomfortable if i forget my list for any reason..so much so we reached the mall and i forgot my list i actually sat and made a list before i started shopping there my husband was so furious..but he knows it can be a mess f i shop without a list on me..i keep forgetting items to be bought..same goes while packing i dont want to forget anything and later get stranded..do you also make a list? are you meticulous about your shopping and packing pattern? have you ever forgotten the list you made? how did you cope without a list? do you comback from shopping and say that you forgot one item?

Oh yes nupats.......List is very important for me.......whether I am going for shopping or I am going on trip, or if not me, any of my children are going on trip or my hubby is going on tour.......no matter what.......I always like to make a proper list and then act accordingly. Now a days my memory is also getting weak and if I will not write down, I will definitely forget somethings.....also some of the things that we leave for the last moment, if we don't put in the list, we may be in trouble........besides I think making a proper organised list and acting accordingly shows good quality of a person and is also a good habit........Nice discussion.....

Hi dear friend well i dont have such nice and planned habit, if i need to go shopping for myself than definetly i dont make the list, but if i am on grocessry or some thing, i just listen what to bring and go for it. and if forget some thing just call back home, simple. but some times on events like Eids, i am provided with big list then i follow same. same goes with packing, during traveling i try that my Passport, ticket, credit cards and wallet remain safe, rest is not that importanr ulesss they are official thing So i am not that Funky on these Take care

I only do 2 lists. One is list of things to buy, and another is list of things to do. Usually when I am listing, I number it from the most to the least important.

As a rule, just for my own sanity I like to take a list to the store. Especially a supermarket. There are times that I don't take one because I figure I'll remember the few things that I wanted. I do think that has always been better practice for me to keep a list. Sometimes I forget things even with a list. Go figure!

Yes i generally make a list of items to be bought or to be packed. Its always good to make a list in advance otherwise you tend to buy stuff that you actually dont require.

I have turned my car around many times and gone back home for a list I forgot! I can't remember the important things on my list as I used to be able to. In the past, I could visualize the list in my mind and read it so it didn't make much difference. My memory isn't so good anymore!
