Lists!

[Amelie]

Lol one of my new yeasr rezzy's was to write more lists.

What i mean by this is a way of getting more organised. I write a list of the days jobs, cross the ones i have done off then the next day carry over any unfinished ones. I also have long term lists, shite like paint a piece of furniture, do garden and that kinda shiznit.

We badly needed more organisation in our house. Trying to locate all the docs to get car tax was a full days work, i even had to pay for a duplicate MOT. I dream of a life where i know where everything is, and instead of going into the bill drawer and finding three used batteries, a bottle of tom sauce and a random phone charger i actuallt find the birth cert or summat i am looking for.

I am slowly but surely getting there- all thanks to the lists. Anyone else a fan of lists or am i just being weird?

Sounds like my drawers them, except the sauce. Ive been thinkin about sorting my drawers out for years, never got round to doing it though, i really cannot be arsed sifting through years worth of papers/bills etc.

Yep lists are good hun! although mine never happen!

i have lists of important things to do and lists of good things to do but its the things that happen in the mean time that displace things from happening

you two have been on my list of peeps to see for the past few months now - need to return stuff you kindly loaned to me

my lists just keep getting longer and longer and more unmanageable by the day so i really to give myself a kick up the jacksie to get cracking! house repairs sale and move being priority

If you want to get organised and are a fan of lists already, you won't do a lot better than follow the advice in this book:
Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-free Productivity

I hate self help books with a passion, but having read this, my life is far more organised and I do know where all my important docs are.

No not at all wierd i write weekly lists wen its pay day so i know whos getting what an wat i have left to spend, i write to do lists but they rarely get done! my boyfriend on the otherhand he has lists for EVERYTHING! he has a set of drawers in his bedroom that is full of lists, granted they are full of vinyl details but there is LOADS, seriously loads of trees have suffered because of this lol-he also writes a list of things to do today, if he needs to ask someone a question he will write it down. he will do a list for a list if you know wat i mean... dont get me started on how many post it notes i find with his scrawlings all over!!! bless him. just another 1 of those quirky things about him that makes me love him

I usually make a list for the things to pack for my hols, but apart from that just things that need doing urgently

I love lists. Mental ones and the ones you have on pieces of paper. I write shopping lists for all the stuff I need to get for people's hair etc and for pretty much everything.

I like to be organised, that's just the way I am. Although I have made a concerted effort to try and be more laid back and spontanious. It doesn't always work, mind. Old habits and all that......

I also get frustrated when I've organised myself and then it becomes un-organised. It's like "now I gota sort everything out again!" grrrrr......

Any hoo, like I said, lists are mint although I'm sure it's mostly gona be female members of the board that think so!
