I love making lists. I am very good at making lists and forgetting to look at them again. I usually make the list in an effort to organize my thoughts and get things in order. I love when I remember to check the list and can cross items off. It makes me feel productive. Sometimes it is a grocery list, a to-do list, or even a list of goals for the day, week, or month. Have you ever added items to a list, that were not originally on the list, just so you could cross them off!? I love to do this and probably do it too much! So maybe I did not "put the laundry away" but I did finish sewing my skirt and although it was not on the original list, I will add it just so I can cross it off. I love the sense of accomplishment that comes with completing a list even if it means adding more to the list, just to cross it off!
Do I sound crazy? Does anyone else do this? Maybe I could use this technique to save money. I wonder how much I could save each trip to Target if I were to write down each extra item I put in my basket before I buy it. I always end up walking out of that store having bought so much more then I went for! Oh well, now I am rambling. At least I can add "update blog with random post about lists" to my to-dos for today.
Then I will cross it off the list! :)
Hi, my name is Shaine, and I am a list-maker. I enjoy crossing things off and feeling like I'm getting something done.
ReplyDeleteYou're not alone!
I think that thing you said about Target is true... they say if you go into a store with a list, you're much more likely to stick to it and not spend as much! ;)
ReplyDeleteI went to a women's conference for my stake a week or two ago, and one of the talks was on happiness. The speaker said that it is proven that list making helps you feel happier. I think it has something to do with feeling that sense of accomplishment. So keep on making those lists!! :)
Miss you!!
