Lets Make a List?

Write about the practice of making lists. Does list-making stifle creativity, or enhance it? When working on a big project, does making a list help organize your thinking, or cause you to feel more overwhelmed? Are you a habitual list maker, and if so, what do you list?

Making Lists

I've always been a list maker. Many times people have made a big deal about list makers, but I think they are probably angry, that people who make lists get things done. Just this morning I jotted down 4 places on the web I need to go today. In this case I need a reminder.

I experienced a laughable thing about making lists when I tried to take on the list challenge, which I found one day in Andre The Blog Monkey's Banana Bar's website.This was a couple of years ago. I failed the challenge. It was an extreme list making challenge and I just could not make the lists in time allotted.

Now, K gave me Alexa Dot for Christmas. List making is a breeze. Don't worry about anyone hacking my info either. I will shop where I shop, buy what is on the lists, and if they want to watch me shop OK. Just get out of my way while I fill the empty cupboard.

On any new project I may be overwhelmed until I make the list. Although, I don't enjoy outlining any new story, until I get into some of the action and go back to round out characters and events. So, I kind of classify outlining with list making. Really are they two different types of lists?

K is out there more than me anyway so he does a lot of the shopping with my lists.

Cell phones are great for lists. Alexa throws everything onto my phone, so when I shop I just open the list. No matter how long ago I put it on there or how jumbled the list was from different needs, it's available. Also, if the TV commercial gives you an idea for a book to read from an author interview or a new product to learn about, my quick memo, is a good place to store the info. I always think I should look into things that I might buy someday even if I can never afford any of it.

Good List Making is an Art!
