The Ultimate List

Just in case you haven't noticed, I like lists. I like lists a whole lot. I am probably addicted to lists. If there were a twelve step program for list addicts, I should probably join it...but then again, the 12 steps would itself be a list, thus only adding to my problem.

The bottom line is, I'm a list-maker. Hardcore. So here's a list of reasons why I like lists.

• They are very organized. Obviously.
• You can write them anywhere; in a planner, on a post it, in a notebook, on your hand.
• You can write them about anything: what to buy at the store, what to do this weekend, where you want to be in ten years, your hopes, dreams, fears, favorite songs, somebody stop me!
• You can write them with markers or crayons or pretty colored sparkly gel pens.
• Crossing things off is the most rewarding sensation. Well, not the most rewarding, but it's pretty damn great.
• They can break giant tasks into little manageable ones.
• Every once in a while, I'll do something that's not on my list, then proceed to write it onto my list, just so i can cross it off and verify to myself that i was in fact productive.
• They also make really good blog posts when you can't think of anything better to write about :P

In other news, it's going to snow more. So I may or may not be snowed in again. So I may or may not post more soon.
