List mania

I am thinking of giving up lists. I tend to make more than... um... three or four that are current, and that makes me a leeeeetle bit stressed out. I mean, I like being able to check things off as DONE, but... it might not be worth it!

I've never been good at lists myself. I always keep things that need to be done in my head...I just lose the lists or forget to check things off. Maybe you don't need them either :)

I actuallly tend to stress out when i see a long list that i haven't made progress on... so i tend to focus better and actually make it a goal to finish off the list on my desk....

if you can remember everything, go for it! me? i forget obvious things if not written on my list because i am too distracted by shiny objects. to me, i restrict to the quick list. otherwise spreadsheets would take over my life with all the pretty organized lines and sortablity. yup i am just a leeeeetle bit insane lol

It sounds like you need a list of lists here - and that's too much listing for me! :-) Lists work great for me in some things, and other times they're just overwhelming...so you might want to cut back and just make one - not TOO big! - list and concentrate on that one for awhile. Good luck!

I'm so with you on this. Tired of my lists that keep making little lists. Isn't there an operation for that?!!?

A fellow list addict here with a question - if no lists, how will you keep track of what you have to do? I am a slave to them and most days, I like em. But what I am hating right now is this long list from yesterday that is hardly touched!!!:(
