I am going out on a limb here, by saying " I am obsessed with lists ". Does anyone else besides myself make "lists" for everything ?

Omg, yes! I am obsessed with lists myself. I make lists for just about anything. To do list, to buy list, list of foods to try... Just recently I was trying to organize my internet-related stuff, and I came up with things like: list of my emails, list of my IM accounts, list of game accounts, list of subscriptions, list of blogs,... Yeah, I probably need professional help. =P

AMEN...there is more like me out there. I will be the first to say...YES, I most likely need help too ! My husband gets his laughs at my expense over my lists. He is always asking if I have a list for this and that, and nine out of 10, I sure do ! I had once compiled me a list of url's that was nothing but list you could print out, but lost it when my computer crashed. I was so upset ! I do have to say that I have gotten little unorganized with my lists, and it is something I need to work on.

I like making lists. That I do. I will make endless to-do lists for fun and because I'm bored, but my problem is that I never get around to half of what I put down on the list. It's more like a boredom-cure than an actual to do list, if that makes sense. LOL!

I hear you loud and clear. I think I am in love with my list because I will find myself making up a new list just because I have things marked all over my other one. Never thought about the list being fun, but maybe they are..because I have seen list that severed no purpose what so ever. But hey...they are still list, so I say GO FOR IT, fill those suckers out, and have fun with it.

I am not, personally, but I have a friend who is. She makes lists all the time, and she does manage to get everything she needs, done. So I am not sure it is a bad thing at all. Maybe I should do the same? :)

I have not come to the decision if it is bad or good, but I would hate to see myself without them, then it might be a very bad thing. I would suggest for someone to give it a try, and start out with a small list. But, be warn..it can be addictive.

In fact, I am. I pretty much makes list of everything - to do lists, shopping lists, expenses lists, out of the blue lists, books to buy lists, assignments lists and anything that can comprise a list. I often attribute it to my tendency to be a little OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and I usually do it when I'm stressed or I have very little to do. Lists somehow gives me a little focus and a little nudge to prioritize things and activities. Of course, making lists are sometimes scary, especially to other people. One time, my friends discovered my list notebook, where I listed particularity what I have to daily, weekly or monthly. They were pretty much shocked at my habit. As for me, I take it as a blessing. That little notebook is a great tool to keep me on my feet and set my mind on track.

I think everyone has quirks and don't worry I am also like you..., my mother is another soul who lists everything she'll do, buy, change, etc, and so forth...I know you know the rest, so I grew up thinking that my behavior was normal...little did I know!!! But listing helps me organize my wandering mind and I don't know what I shall do without them!!!

lol, normal..not too sure about that. I started out thinking it was okay, but when everyone started making fun of my list, I seen real quick that perhaps it wasn't normal. But I can say this, if anyone in my family needs something, guess who they come to ? Thats right...me, and only me, so who's laughing now ? hehe

Seek professional help. Just kidding. I only make a list when I go shopping for multiple items. It helps me keep everything together because I am horrible with remembering everything I need.
