Are you a list person?

[HoneySpider]

I totally am. I have a big "to do" list of everything and then each day I make myself a list from that of what I need to accomplish that day. I guess I really like crossing things off? Or maybe I'm just forgetful?

The other night I made a list of all my tv shows so that when I get my DVR (hopefully tonight) I won't miss recording any.

I used to be more than I am now, especially in college. I need to start again, it makes me feel more productive!

I am definitely a list person. I have lists going everywhere.

[MrsMB]

I make lists for my lists. I have daily lists, monthly lists, dvr lists...PROJECT lists.

All that to say, "I feel you."

[pooh8402]

Yes! I have to be. DH and I are pretty sure I have ADD, and are awaiting a good time to get diagnosed. Right now is no good since I can't take meds. Anyway, my biggest coping skill is making lists, to focus me on my tasks and give me a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day.

I do this at work too. I have a very organized report sheet to help remind me of what I need to do all day and what I have done.

I LOVE lists!!! I have to have them. Menu planning lists, multiple grocery store lists, lists to do each day, project list by deadline. My hubby thinks I'm crazy but I'm so much more productive when I have them!!

[Waffles]

I make tons of lists, but I usually misplace them, and end up making more lists

Haha this too

I shall list my listing quirks and rationale in my preferred manner.

1. I need a visual or I will forget/ignore/skip important tasks
2. As opposed to those that like crossing things off lists, my obsessive tendencies force me to rewrite the entire list when too many things get marked out
3. I have to use the same color pen
4. I try to write lists in order of priority
5. I'm strange

I love lists too and have one in almost every room. There's nothing like the satisfaction of crossing something off. In contrast, my H never makes lists.

[katiek]

I'm very listy, lol. H makes fun of me, but I have a terrible memory. And lists are very motivating. Sometimes I include stuff I've already done on my to-do lists, just to be able to check it off.

[luv2rn4fun]

I use lists for most things- it helps me stay productive! And, I love checking things off!

DH is even more of a list person than I am.

I'm the opposite, I like using many colors, particularly Sharpies

[awick14]

Waffles- I'm the same as well.

I make so many lists but loose 95% of them. Lol

[katespade]

Yes. I like very clean, organized lists. I actually rewrite my work list every evening before I go home so that it's ready in the morning with only tasks that still need to be done on it.

I'm obsessive compulsive. Lists make me feel better.

If there are different colors there has to be a reason why or a pattern to them.
