Lists are awesome. Some people are addicted to making lists. I make them occasionally. I've used the Next Actions List, a grocery shopping list, and a Christmas gift list. I've also heard of a list about Spider-Man's enemies. (Apparently, that list is longer than the average list.)
Lately, since December is approaching and what better way to get ready than to make some lists, I've compiled some lists. The purpose of these lists is to clarify what needs to be done or procured. Here are some lists I've made lately:
- A Christmas gift list with both ideas and what has already been bought.
- A pre-December home cleaning list (a step-by-step cheat sheet on what all needs to be done).
- A grocery shopping list for our annual change-of-month feast. (Redundant, though, since we always just buy whatever we feel like at the moment of the shopping instead of succumbing to the dictatorship of a premade list.)
- A food list - meals I've eaten lately.
- A packing list - things to be packed in a bag.
- A things list - handy things to be bought.
- A work list - projects to be completed before December.
- A list of everything noteworthy that's happened this year.
All there's left to do is to make a list of the reasons why all these lists aren't neurotic, obsessive, of control-freaky at all.
RK out.
P.S. Seriously, though, while I make these to be prepared, I mainly just have fun making lists. I can ignore them when the time to ignore them comes.
