List

I just realized I have a lot of lists. I guess it’s a lot, it feels like a lot now that I’ve counted it. And even on those lists, there are sub-lists. Either I’m really organized or just a poor finisher who never completes anything and therefore list just grows.

The truth is somewhere between those two. I do complete and cross off a lot of stuff on my lists. But there is a lot of stuff on those lists still.

The lists are good. It’s a spot to come back to when you lose your way. Looking at them helps you sometimes prioritize better. Sometimes you have something on the list that one day you say, I don’t want to do that and remove it.

Lots of people use lists. I see a lot of them in the grocery stores and during holiday times. I see people walk into the auto repair shop with a list. You see people buying lunch for a team of people with a list.

Sometimes when I get to run errands, I’ll write myself a list, so I don’t skip by a needed stop.

I like it when we forget our list. Both my better half and I have called each other to take a picture of the list and text it to us because we left it on the counter and went out the door without it.

I guess people still ask for birthday and Christmas gift lists.
