Lists are how I function properly in my life. They are how I manage my life and busy schedules. They are how I get to sleep.
Seriously.
When I can't fall asleep because I have too much on my mind, I just make a list of all the things I have to do the next day and then go to sleep.
It's theraputic.
I also have the most horrible memory in the world so instead of having things jumbled inside my head, I like writing them down. Lists are tangible and personal. I like that I can touch my thoughts and see my life all laid out.
I bought this book called To-Do Lists. And before I read it I thought I was a little bit crazy because I made lists like there was no tomorrow, at least once a day. But then I discovered, after I read the book, that there is a whole world of list makers! It's incredible! I thought I was alone and boy oh boy, I was wrong.
Lists are significantly important in my life and I would probably freak out 24/7 if I couldn't write my thoughts down or what I had to do.
If you are not an avid list maker like myself, I recommend trying it out. It's not for everybody but what do you have to lose?
Here, I'll help.
This can be the beginning of your list.
To Do List
--> read Caris' blog
--> comment on the posts
--> sing a song
--> do a jig
I hope this helps :)
I am also a fellow list maker. I find it hard to sit down and relax without a pen and paper in my hand. My most embarrassing list ever was the following... To Finish the Downstairs.
ReplyDelete1. Walls
2. Flooring
3. Ceiling
This is embarrassing on several fronts the one that stands out the most being that lists are made typically so we won't forget something. The odds of us finishing the basement but forgetting the...walls for example is highly unlikely!! "HHmmmm....things don't look right down here, let me check my list....oh YEAH THE WALLS WE FORGOT TO DO THE WALLS!" Sad but true.
Also, please remember to write things down on your list that you'll do for sure as it is pleasurable to check them off. Example, Eat breakfast, rest, waste time on Ebay etc.
Love your blog Caris, and I love you too.
