Do you ever make a to-do list?

Today, my to-do list has only three items on it: 1) put dishes in washing machine (done); 2) pick up pain meds (about to); 3) make appointment at dealership for routine vehicle maintenance (later). I tend to send myself an email when I have stuff to do. That's what I did earlier this morning. Do you make to-do lists?

Not per day. But I do have a yearly to-do list. It's progressing nicely this year

@TheHorse That's why as I think of things I add them so I can remind myself

@wolfgirl569 Well, "make love to a beautiful French girl who likes math and music" is on my list. But fow now, I'll stick with "trim left big toe nail."

I don’t do that but sometimes I set a reminder for something I need to do.

How do you give yourself a reminder?

@TheHorse iPhone has a reminders app. I can even set an alarm to remind me of something.

Sometimes I do but most of the time I don't end up doing them.

I enjoy crossing off this and that.

All the time, I fear to forget to do important things, so I make my lists.

@TheHorse - I write on my daily calendar, at least I see the note even if I do not turn on the computer.

Do you write them out? I do sometimes. But I often send them to myself in an email.

I like "getting stuff done." I guess I like scratching things (mentally) off of my list.

I have a running list for groceries but mainly my daily "to do" list isn't actually written. I pretty much think about what I need/want to do while I'm having my morning coffee and some gets done and some doesn't

I keep a daily "to-do" list in the Notes app on my phone; and sometimes I'll make lists in the Reminders app on my phone. Both help me stay on track. Did you really put your dishes in the washing machine, or did you mean dishwasher? lol

It was a running joke here for awhile. I like watching the dishes spin around.

@TheHorse That reminds me of those street performers who balance spinning plates on rods.

I make to-do lists but I've never thought of sending myself an email of them. That's a good idea.
