I am a list person, I'm not sure why since I'm not that organized. I guess making the list gives me the illusion that I'm organized but since I don't really finish marking things off the list, the purpose of the list is defeated. I try and keep all my list in one notebook but over the years I have collected a lot of cute little books to keep up with my list. I have the small notebooks that fit in my purse and other notebooks that I keep around the house. One notebook might be for scrapbooking, it includes list of pages I want to make, journaling, and any products I want to purchase. Another notebook has all my goals in them which includes the 33 things list and other goals I have for myself. I also try to take each goal and break it down to what I have to do to reach it. Then there are the usual list of daily things I need to do.
I have a stack of books by my bed that I want to read, which I consider a visual list, my amazon wish list of things I want to buy, and my list of movies to watch at blockbuster.com and I'm not even about to admit how many movies are in that list.
I crave organization and stability in my life and yet I continue to run around like a person on crazy pills everyday trying to get everything done.
Here are just a few of the list I have going on right now:
- topics I want to blog about
- list of ideas floating around in my head
- daily, weekly, monthly list of things that need to be done
- since the holiday season just around the corner I've got a list going of present to give and things I want to do to celebrate
- list of all the cross stitch projects I want to make
- a list of what I want to plant next year in the garden and what needs to be done this fall and winter to get the garden ready for spring
- I also sat down the other day, went through my photos and made list of the pages I want to scrapbook.
- list of places I want to go
- And do you realize I just made a list of the list I have going on right now?
And all for what? I feel like I'm a structured person trapped in a pack-rat's body! I'm a wanna be organized person, how crazy is that?
