Are you a list maker?

Remember everything? That made me laugh out loud! I have a brain live a sieve and everything I really need to remember falls straight through! lol I used to make lists to try and help me be more organised but I always forgot where I left them! I struggle along now but I always write appointments and clip info onto my magnetic whiteboard in the kitchen - it is the only chance I have of remembering anything! xxx

I tend not to make a list but a think poeple start as thea get older. My grandmother made lists i think it was because she was 93 lol.

I am difinitely a list maker. I have several lists laying around. I have lists for the store, things I need to do and get done, things I want to buy, projects we want to complete, my bill lists, and more. I am not a scatter brain but I like to stay organised and get alot done each month and make plans for things. I always have so much going on, it is easier for me to make a list of them.

i have to make a list if not i won;t remember one thing i need to get. i always have a tablet and pen sitting on the counter to write things down.

I keep a journal for jotting down stuff - such as phone calls - resolutions - business transactions - bills paid etc. or I will not be able to keep track of it all.

I am always making list of the different things I want to accomplish for the day. I love marking it off but sometimes. I do without cause the list of chores I make for myself would sometimes take an army to get done LOL

I have a good long term memory but hopeless with my short term memory, you ask me what I did Friday and I can't remember a damn thing, ask me what I was doing ten years ago and I could tell you that's why I have to keep lists of jobs that need to be done, I keep it on my desk so it's not out of sight out of mind, and when I've done a job I can tick it off, so I can go to bed relaxed that everything that needed to be done has been done, otherwise I'd forget and bills would go unpaid and jobs forgotten.

most of the time I am. i like to do work in systematic way. when i think it is difficult to remember all those i make a 'To do' list and then do my work. i find this very helpful.

there are only a few who do what you do and most people do not realize that it is important to list down almost everything that you do and what you have to do to remind you of so many different things and in that way that means that you are a very organized and productive person. i salute you. nowadays , with a lot of things on our mind , we cannot rely on our memory because we will forget it . this is the best way not to forget things.

I tend to fly by the seat of my pants as my MIL would say, but she plans her life to the second for the next 20 years. lol. I make a list to go to the grocery store if there is a lot we need, or we are budgeting so taht we dont get anything extra.

Yes i do make lists because i forget if i don't.I even make grocery lists because if i don't i will forget something...I have went to the store before to get a certain item,this is before i made lists,anyway i ended up getting a lot of things only to realize when i got home the thing that i went after i forgot...So now i do make a list,it helps me not to forget.If i have a lot of errands to run i will write each of them down as well...my list goes something like this....Get gas,mail letter,go by so & so,and go pay truck payment..etc etc...:Lol

I always making list for shopping specially it save my time and my brain in thinking what more do I have to buy. When you know how to organize everything it save a lots of your time. I prove that many times I'm a busy person I have children so I have to know how to divide every single minute of my time. Happy posting.......

i make a list of what i shud be doing but i dun write em down..i keep em in my mind and keep rechecking it to make sure i have completed everything...

I love making lists. It's a superb way of focusing the brain on the day or task ahead, gets you in right frame of mind for the activity, and gives you an immense sense of satisfaction when you are able to cross something off. I normally have several lists running at one time. I keep one on the back of the kitchen door which is to remind me of shopping I need to do and errands I need to run, one for things to do today which might just contain mundane stuff like remembering to write a birthday card, make a cake or do the dishes, and one for long term stuff which is normally very long. The long term one works well for us because when we have a spare hour we can refer to it and there is always something that we can fill that hour with which will help towards our long term goals. We're never at a loss for something to do! So yes, I'm definately a list maker :-)

Most of the time, i do make a list.. especially when buying groceries, gifts, and chores to do. I do this and its very helpful especially when you have many things in mind. The tendency is you miss something if you had not make a list. I also liked to jot down birthday reminders on my planner so that i would not forget greeting my friends and loved ones on their birthday.

If I have a lot to do, or have to get certain things done, I need a list. And I LOVE to mark things off of said list!!

absolutely... i am myself a scatter brain and somehow feel relieved when i have listed the things to do ..cause that makes me sure i would do the same at some time or other as i prioritize after making the list. Gives me immense pleasure to stike off the things done from the list and use my brain for some other work ...

Hi coffeeshot, I am a list maker.It is not because I forget things but it is because of habit which my father taught me saying that we humanbeings tend to have always a pre-occupied mind and it is natural that we forget certain things to be done on the day.So,listing things is best habit and I have gained many things because of that. Very Imprortantly I have to tell you one thing, that listing helped me in my professional achievements. I have to purticularly thank you because your discussion made me to think of my father today. Good Luck.

If there is many things to buy i must keep the list of the things.But in normal case I do not want this.

OC people prepare a lot of lists. Hahaha! It's good to be organized, isn't it?
