Okay, I hate to admit this about myself, but I am OCD when it comes to making lists. I seriously make lists about everything. A list for cleaning the house, a list for when I go to the grocery store, a list of home work I have divide up into each class, lists for church, etc. It's crazy. Why do I obsess like this? Well, I can think of a couple reasons why. One, my mom was like this. She too made list after list- like mother like daughter. Two, it helps me to organize and prioritize my life. But it's so sad when I have to write when to get up and when to fall asleep to insure 8 hours of sleep. My life isn't dictated by my lists, but they do play a big part in organizing my life for me.
Are there any LMA's (list makers anonymous out there)? We should form a group. Compare and contrast the details of our lists, and help each other know when to say enough if enough, just LIVE you life!!!

And what do you do with all those lists once the day has passed?
Do you check them off as you accomplish your tasks, and reconcile them like your checkbook?
Do you save your old lists?
Do you ever lose your list, and then don't know which way to act for the rest of the day/week/month?
Just looking for some clarity here, dear daughter :)
Yeah, let me put that meeting on my list.....
In answer to Dad's questions:
I check off the tasks once they are accomplished. I don't save list intentionally. Sometimes they get jammed under a car seat, or in a random notebook.
Lists don't tell me how to ACT per say, but the do give me some direction. The list I'm working on right now has everything major I need to do for this week. I could probably remember everything that is on there without having it, but having it helps me to stop my head from spinning, and just get working on the tasks. It's more of a prioritizing tool.
I make lists. All the time. For everything. It helps me keep my brain straight.
