Do You Make Lists?

I make lists sometimes, but not all the time, but lately, I've been making lists and it has helped me become more efficient and it forces me to do tasks I that perhaps I would avoid if I were not to make a list of things to do. Do you make lists, and if you do or do not, do you find making lists to be a helpful way to organize your life?

Yes I write lists all the time and it really seems to help me get things done and helps me not to forget to get something done. I also write lists for my hubby and stick them all over the place so he gets his stuff done too! LOL and so far its worked and kept us from having to discuss what needs to be done or being able to try and get out of doing it !

I make lists all the time. It does help me accomplish more. If I am going to the store for a few things I still make a list. If I don't I will wander around wondering what it was that I came for! And when I have alot to do it helps to do one thing at a time and cross it off the list as I do it. Instant gratification...seeing a list where everything is crossed off.

The only lists I really make are food lists, What I might need from the store or something.. I tend to forget sometimes so keeping a list is always helpful.. I don't make to do lists unless I have alot I mean alot to do than I will make them but the simple things like doing dishes and laundry I don't need them for that, That's just an every day thing for me... Kind of hard to forget about those when they are always right there... lol

I used to remember everything, but now I don't remember anything. So I make lists. But the lists have really helped me. Mostly housekeeping lists and lists for my job.

I make lists bit either lose them or get frustrated that I can't cross off much from them. I am completely unorganized and hate it. I sense I have ADD as does my doctor but I don't want medication so I live my cluttered, unorganized life as best I can. I am going to start making lists again and trying to prioritize things and get them done. It is a good feeling to to see the list getting smaller. I think. Haha.
