Hello, my name’s Izzy and I am a listaholic! I have never
had a productive day that hasn’t involved one. There is something about a
series of words stacked on top of each other that helps me actually achieve
stuff in my day. My brain is such a jumble of different thoughts and ideas that
in order to remember what I need to do a list is accentual. My days without
such a tool normally involve me randomly bumbling between different things that
I never actually finish. The number of times I have found myself lying on the
ground trying to work out what I should be doing with my life is ridiculous.
I make lists for everything, obviously the normal ones like
shopping lists, to do lists and lists of chocolate bars I need to try but I
also find myself making lists of strange pets I want to own or types of
notepads that I enjoy. The most worrying thing I have found myself doing is
writing a list of lists. For one day I might have several lists of things to do
from my cleaning list to my Uni work list. All of these lists go onto the day’s
main list so that I know what lists I need to complete that day. Ok now I sound
mental! I would like to back that up by saying that I don’t do it all the time,
just on the days I need to be really productive.
I may have made this sound like a strange hobby for sad
people but list making is an amazingly useful tool. It allows you to have a
clear plan of what you need to achieve. The satisfaction I feel when I can tick
off an item on a list is massive motivation for me to get that thing done. Even
writing this blog is contained within a list and so I am currently typing away
so I can get that magical tick (as well as for the enjoyment of it too of
course)!
I would love to know that I am not the only one in the world
with this obsession so if you share my love of lists please comment below so I
don’t feel quite as silly!
Happy list making
