List-o-holics Anonymous

Have had a right giggle reading your posts.

Here are my methods (in list form of course!):

• I use a system called Time Manager to manage my time - this has a monthly and weekly calendar to use and a sheet for daily appointments and tasks.
• I keep other lists here - things to do, websites to look at, stuff to buy
• A weekly list in my Paperchase book
• Shopping lists in the same book
• Spending diary

I am about to start my annual goal-setting tasks which will result in monthly and weekly tasks.

I do have one bone to pick with you lot - why o why did you have to tell me about paperchase on Amazon!!! it`s one of myweak spots! At least I would't pay the postage!

if you have a borders bookstore near you they should have a paperchase department :j

urg - i did a annual goal setting list/resolution list for the first time last year and i found it very effective for focusing the mind. i will be doing it again this year

Reading this thread has got me all geared up to go write with my lovely coloured pens in one of my many notebooks.
An early (ish) night writing lists and browsing MSE on my laptop .....:T

I'm also admitting to being a list a holic ... the thing is, I always make sure I type up my lists on the PC because god forbid I lose one and then it will be panic stations trying to remember what was on it.

I also keep old lists saved on my PC, ie holiday ones so I can refer back to them for the next holiday to save writing a new list out from scratch.

i lurve lists so much, lat year my best friend bought me a post-it note type pad with this written at the top: 'every day i make a to-do list, but the only thing i cross off is lose mind' - very apt

My name is Vicky....and I am a listoholic:T:T

I have found since being pregnant that a list a day is the only way I can function!!
I really do not think I could go back to the bad old days of no lists.
I take my notepad to bed with me and make a list in bed of jobs for the following day, I keep it by the bed incase I think of something in the night.
I also have lists of meals, lists for budgets, lists for shopping, lists for birthdays, you name it I have a list!!
Very jealous of the lovely stationary you are all talking about (drooling!)

:rotfl::rotfl:Long live the list!!:rotfl::rotfl:

Ah, a thread after my own heart! Havent read all the posts yet but I am definately a list-a-holic!

I write a list for absoutely everything.My daily lists include things such as "have bath" "take bins out" "have breakfast" "Text OH to say love you" etc etc. I write lists of what to wear for work each week and I go crazy if on annual leave or going on hoilday!

I have an array of notebooks and stationary but can only function if I write in black...colour is for titles only!

Guys, you have no idea how happy I am now! I thought I was the only one!

I'm 24....things can only get worse!

Pips Mum - how are you? Was thinking of you when I posted on "small DFW" today! 3 days overdue then? Wow!

MrsA2b - are you as surprised as me that Andan hasn't posted on this thread yet? The "small DFW" queen of lists...
(ok... I am picturing DFWs all under a certain height now I've called it the "Small DFW" thread!)

I never knew!!

Oh My God!!

Just think of all those lovely shiney new notebooks for all those lists

I was having a declutter today and found at least ten notebooks, I buy them, then forget about them, then buy more... you can never have enough notebooks. Tomorrow is going to be spent writing lists of "resolutions" and things to do to make 2009 a success. I am so excited about this it is worrying :rotfl:
