Lists

[miss soul fire]

I'm a list person. I make lists all the time! In the paper or in my mind. I can't stop doing that. It's a habit. The bad thing is that I end up doing only 5% of the list of the day.

How about you? Are you a list person?

I used to do lists a lot

I used to do a top 40 album and singles charts with stuff that I only liked so for instance,when Paul's Boutique came out it was No1 for 40 weeks

i'm not a list person but i think i should be for law school. just an hour ago i was thinking i need to make a list of what i need to do by tomorrow morning (which is like 9 hours away lol and i havent started). i figure if i see it on paper and can cross it off as i go it'll be less daunting.

right now my list says "finish list"

I'm a list-a-holic too, and have been trying to find other ways to remember. For example:
1) Leave notes for yourself in conspicuous places
2) Ask people to remind you of things
3) Tie a string on your finger

...oh damn, there I go again.
:o

I am and they definately suck ass. I need to find a better system. Usually, my master list is on my computer. But, I carry alot of responsibility at my job and list-keeping is an MO to that place, it will eat you alive.

i think i need to re-evaluate my list making priorities. instead of listing important things that never get done and being depressed about how unfulfilled my list is, i think i'm going to start listing things that i'm likely to end up doing.

1) fuck around on internet for 5 hours
2) put off homework until tomorrow morning
3) don't finish homework

another busy day draws to a close!

They say that when you make a list, you should include a few easy items to give yourself a sense of accomplishment. Bob, looks like you're kind of an overachiever, congrats!

i love lists...i like things to be clean and straightforward.
numbered paragraphs are good too.
