Sometimes I am surprisingly spontaneously productive, and I do a whole slew of things that never even got a chance to make it onto my list in the first place. So what I will do then is, I will write all these things down on my list after-the-fact, so that I can cross them out. And I use highlighter to cross out. I find this method more rewarding than the straight forward cross-out in pen.Jennifer Garamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04699395976863933612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10624981.post-1155867036340715912006-08-17T22:10:00.000-04:002006-08-17T22:10:00.000-04:00I for one love the list, but once made it becomes ...I for one love the list, but once made it becomes useless to me. See, if I get it written down, I will remember it without the list. BUT, if I don't make the list, I have no hope of remembering it on my own. My husband finds this hilarious much to my chagrin. And so, I continue making the list which I will never look at again : )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10624981.post-1155740385981529792006-08-16T10:59:00.000-04:002006-08-16T10:59:00.000-04:00i am all about the lists. one problem being howeve...i am all about the lists. <BR/><BR/>one problem being however that once something's written on a list i can no longer remember it w/o looking at the list. so i'm walking around thinking "i know i wrote something on a list last night, where is that list, crap i can't find the list, what is the thing i need to do that i no longer know i need to do because it's on the to do list that i can't find..."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10624981.post-1155738854904610662006-08-16T10:34:00.000-04:002006-08-16T10:34:00.000-04:00Ah, yes, lists... there was often a time where on ...Ah, yes, lists... there was often a time where on my list there was this:<BR/><BR/>make a list of...<BR/><BR/>then that list would be cancelled out with the new list that added to the first list and then the lists would all just get messy. <BR/><BR/>Now, I just have Dave help me with my lists which involves putting on my list:<BR/>Ask Dave to help you make a list...<BR/><BR/>Which, wait, he hasn't gotten to yet...add to my list to ask him...<BR/><BR/>(no, seriously, this is really how it is with me and lists!).25 life crisis kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02871178471189681365noreply@blogger.com
