    Default Are You A List Maker?

    Another thread got me thinking about my lists. I'm a list maker and keep running lists of various items. I have a to do list, a list of things I want to buy,a grocery shopping list, a goal and self-improvement list, a list of recipes I'd like to try, a Christmas list, and a list of books I'd like to read. My memory isn't that great so these lists keep me in check.

    I try to keep a list and cross things off as I do them. If I don't make a list, I end up forgetting something.

    Yup, I have lists for everything. Even a few "fun" lists I do sort of as journal writing topics.

    I could not live without my lists. I make a weekly goal list, a daily goal list and a monthly goal list. I also have lists of books that I want to read, movies that I would like to see, craft goals/projects to complete, recipes to try, weight loss goals and rewards and a list of frugal goals with a sublist of things to do to reach those goals. Now if I could just get motivated to follow through and complete the items on the list!

    I especially do this when I have a big dinner pary coming up. From menu planning and grocery list to cleaning and setting the table it's all witten down for me to check off so I don't forget a thing & can relax with my guests.
