Yes, I'm a list-er. My husband is the cook, and I am the meal planner. Even with my grocery lists, I'm prone to missing an ingredient in a recipe I've looked up or not buying it even if it's on my list.

 

Several times, I've almost left out the chicken in a chicken recipe. So now I reread my list several times before I leave the market.

 

I also put lists on our calendar in the kitchen for what needs attention each month.

I did a lot more list making when I was working, but yes, I still do somewhat.

In fact I had a Dr appointment this morning, so jotted down a list last night. 

 

List making increases my productivity, keeps me focused on the task and ever moving forward. By thinking it out ahead I don't overlook things, and I have contingency plans worked out in advance if obstacles arise.

I always have a running grocery list.  

 

I make precise lists of reminders for our medical appts.  

 

Notes on my wall calendars remind me when its time to seal the driveway, service the generator, pump the septic tank, change the furnace filter, etc.

1. Absolutely,

2. Always,

3. Everyday,

4. For everything!

 

Always have post it notes in car, purse, family room and on kitchen table with on going list. Cross off what's done(or sometimes not), revise and make new list daily.🤪

Also use a calendar to write and revise some list.(i.e., time to mail so and so's birthday card, have blood work done, pay sewer tax, etc.)

I never write out a list.  I just make a mental note.

 

My memory is 100%.  My habit of losing or misplacing things is 150%.

Yes, I'm a list maker.  Projects at work, Groceries, Vacation (Prep & What to Pack) and to do lists for things at home.  That reminds me, I'm on vacation in a couple of weeks but not traveling anywhere and I have thought of a few things to do (spring cleaning items that are not the norm).  I need to start compiling a list.

Yes, I do...to much to remember...home, business, personal info.

 

DH gets irked when he wants to remind me of something I need to do 2-3 days away...I always stop him and say, when I have paper to write this down or when it's closer to the date, then you can tell me, of course I ALWAYS offer to hand off things to him!  Sometimes it works others not so much.

Yes I make lists and notes but now electronically. My laptop, iPad and phone are all connected so I always have them available to add stuff.  I always have my phone with me and no more paper in the bottom of my purse.
