I am a list maker. Sometimes I remember the list just from physically writing the list. Other times I have to refer to the list.
Last night right before I got into bed and turned out the light, I wrote a note to myself to remind me to do something today.
Then a couple of minutes later I turned the light back on and wrote another reminder to my note thus making it a list.
Then a few more minutes passed and I again turned the light back on to add another item to my list.
At this point I think Mr. Aitch was getting disgusted with me so I tried to keep myself from thinking of things to add to the list and go to sleep.
It eventually worked but not until I made a mental note to get some earplugs. If you know what I mean.
Do you make lists? Do you have to refer to them or does the act of writning it down make you remember?

I seem to remember to do things after I make a list. I seldom refer to it, but it is a comfort for me to know it is there.

Do I make lists? OMG Yes! Like you, I often never need to look at them again, just writing them helps me remember things. And when I wake up at night worrying about work, I find just making a few notes let’s me relax and try to go back to sleep, rather than lying there worrying that I am going to forget the thing that woke me up.

I refer back to my lists more often than not these days… I think I threw away a list I made for work and the cleaners come tonight to empty the trash. I just emailed myself at work to remind me to do that one last thing on the list.
