I am right there with you Swirly, I make a list of things to do at the beginning of the week and I should be crossing them off as they are done..but all I ever seem to do is add more things!! I have a white board in my office that I write the most important things to do on so they are in my face all day. I have taken to putting coloured stars against the most important ones as there is so much on there I can't tell what needs doing first. What am I doing here?? I have a white board to look at and decide which things not to get done today!! :mf::mf:

Lists are good, you can then get a sense of satisfaction as you tick them when completed.

It makes me chuckle when I write lists as I write a couple fo things, then I write 'beads' which is completely unlimited!!

Never put more than 5 things on a list - it makes it achievable! :D

I'm a fan of lists! I wouldn't work without them some days!!
DH thinks i'm mad (hehe) ... sometimes when I was teaching I would have a list for all my lists!

Oh - what did you teach? I was an infant teacher in Slough, Rochdale and Oldham - the bright lights for me!! Are you planning on going back? I'm not - I couldn't hack working those hours for something I'm just not interested in anymore. Crafts on the other hand I can work on all day!!

I don't often make myself a list, but I often make my husband one - he needs a list to get motivated or nothing would get done. I don't think he likes my lists though.

Lists are King.... and Queen!

I would be lost without 'em.

I have two lists. A strategic list in an excel spreadsheet. Contains my main goals, like market website etc... I ahve a date attached and cross them out when I acheive them.

Then I have a second daily list that the strategic goals broken down into smaller tasks. These form my daily (weekly) to do list!

I also have a white board with general stuff on.

For very important things I also put them in my outlook so when I log on in the morning I get reminded.

Long live lists!!
:)
