Making My List and Checking it Twice

United States
May 21, 2026 5:01pm CST
No, I'm not Santa Claus, but I do make lists to remind me of things I need to do because otherwise I'd forget. I'll say something out loud to myself, "I need to do XYZ this weekend" and then if I don't write it down, I'll completely forget to do XYZ. I just knocked two things off my list: gathering clothing donations for the church charity and re-ordering CPAP supplies. Next on my list is researching renewing hubby's passport online. But I still think that I thought of two other tasks yesterday that I didn't commit to a list that I'm forgetting to do. Do you make "to do" lists? Or "reminder" lists?

I try to use a to do list when the day starts in my mind.

I thought your husband barely left the house. Is the passport a just in case thing?

Yes, it's his escape plan if things hit the fan. HAHAHA

@looeyville Thanks for reminding me that I need to renew my wife’s passport on line as soon as we get back to Ireland. Seems like you are in charge of my to do list.

I am a HUGE list maker. I have lists of things to do, things for J to do, etc. I'd be lost without my lists and calendar.

No Yvonne reminds me of everything so need to do. She is really good at it. She has a list called Jim2Do

Oh yes all the time! I have an ongoing 'to-do' list and I make one every day for the things I need to do ASAP. And I very rarely get to the end of that!

I make lists of all sorts of things. I'd be in trouble otherwise.
