Lists, Lists and more Lists! A Compulsion for lists

I am a little bit of a list fanatic.

People ask me how I stay organized, especially when I have so many contract jobs I am working on.
I tell them, I keep lists.

Well, maybe they don’t realize the extent of my lists.

I have lists everywhere.

Every time I think of something that I have to do, want to do, or should do, I write it down.
But, depending on what it is, is where the item gets recorded.

I really find that making lists helps to deal with the mental clutter. If I write it down, it’s not floating around in my head, taking down space. I can let it go. 

See, I have a list on the fridge for our grocery shopping and menu plan.

I have a list on the counter for the housework jobs I want to do each day.

I have so many lists at my desk. One for the tasks I need to do.

One for what I’ll post on Facebook each day

My topics for daily blog posts. They are all recorded.

Those are the task-specific lists. But, I also have random lists.
One in my purse.

One by my bedside table to record my late-night or early-morning stream of consciousness.

Even one in the bathroom.

I have also been known to grab a washable marker and make lists while I am in the shower!

No, my brain never shuts off.

My husband says that I should switch over to keeping my tasks on an electronic device. Like refusing to switch to an e-reader, I just can’t lose the old-fashioned pen and paper list making.

I love my plethora of fun notepads! I love the joy of crossing something off a list when it is complete, or combing several lists to make one new one!

Yes, I am that anal.
Please tell me that I am not the only one! Does anyone else out there love lists as much as me?
Let me know!

And, I’ll add it to my list to get back to you!
