List-o-holics Anonymous

Sarah147

My name is Sarah and I am a List-o-holic!

I have come to the conclusion that I am obsessed with lists. I have lists of what I need to bring to work. Lists of what I need to do when I get to work. Lists about what I need to do after work....

I can't sleep properly at night because I am thinking of what I need to do in the week ahead and find myself switching the light on numerous times to write something else I have just remembered I need to do in the list by my bed. I can never switch off!

I even have lists about what lists I need to do...

Now I think I have been relying on lists so much that I cannot remember anything without a list. My brain has turned to mush. If I go into a supermarket wanting a couple of things and, panic stations, I have forgotten my sacred list, I will come out with everything but what I originally went in there for. I think the reliance on lists has diluted my brain power. I am a slave to the list! I am useless without them!

Is anyone else a list-o-holic? (proud or otherwise? :T )

Oh me too ,are you starting a list of our names lol .
I think it s my old age (31) or lack of brain cells.
Do you have any excuses?

I love making lists, always have

It doesn't mean I actually DO anything but I love making them.

I really like making lists of payments and overpayments even though I am a dab hand with a spreadsheet I also just like the action of writing it all out - lol

ETA: I am 30 too

i am a list o holic to and i am not going to give it up!! i am 28 and i have been a list o holic for about 8 years now.

The best thing about being a list o holic is it doesn't cost anything

the worse thing is very long lists!! oh dear!

I love striking thing off the list but i usually feel the need to re write it after i have striked something off!

I am a list-a-holic, so much so that I will write a list and even put on there things I have already done just so I can tick them off!

One reason I am very stressed at the moment is not having enough time to even do a list, never mind actually do the things on it.

I'm a listaholic too

I have a notepad in my handbag just in case I have to make a list while on the move

(I'm a bit of a stationery/notepadoholic too:o and I like nice pens:o:o)

I create a new 'to do' list at work every day

I love Christmas, cos there are loads of lists to create
