Do you make a 'to do' list?

Parchment - An old to do list, which was probably never completed.

I make a list and I always have good intentions of following what I have done, but I never manage to complete it, do you make a list or not? Do you ever get the things done you want to?

Its funny but sometimes when I do a to do list, I don't do it, and I rebel against myself, stranger than fiction eh! :-)

I have always been a list maker, but never been one to finish my tasks. Every day the remainder of my list is copied over to my list for the following day. Somehow my list keeps getting longer. I hope to enlist the help of my kids to catch up on some of the tasks from my list while they are home from school on Spring break.

Since I always add yesterday's list to today's, the list just keeps getting longer. I'll never catch up on my own. With a little help from them, we should be able to get the list cleared up in half the time.

I really never get mine finished either, although I have not thought of getting my kid to help,that is a great idea, I may get more done.

I believe extremely in making and following 'To do' lists. They are very very effective. I follow a schedule everyday. Everday morning, when I wake up, I think of all my tasks that are scheduled for the day. Then, I make some notes in my mobile notepad, and make the 'to do' list. But I try to follow one thing very strictly. I try to complete all the jobs that are scheduled for the day. If there isn't any unavoidable problem, then I often complete all the tasks from the list. That is because, I hate leaving daily 'to do' jobs pending.

I do feel guilty if I leave bits on my to do, but you seem highly organised, can you see me being slightly jealous here :-)

I always try to make a list of things that I have to do. I have a bad short term memory, and sometimes I would probably forget my head if it wasn't attached! I always try to do everything that I put on it, but it doesn't always happen. I still always forget to do something, but if it weren't for the list, I would probably for get even more of it.

I don't make a list, but I should it seems the harder I try to get something done the longer it takes. I get distracted easily.
