I love lists!!

I can not believe that it has been two months since I was able to blog! I don't know what has happened since then. I was sick, the dog has been sick, Mr. A's birthday came and went, Halloween came and went, and I am taking Mr. A to a holistic allergist. I will have to blog about that another time.

Now since the last time I blogged I have been wanting to share my obsession with lists. I write everything down or it will be forgotten, believe me! Sometimes if I am about to do a task and it has been crossed out and I get distracted the task leaves my brain! I just have a horrible memory. So each Sunday I get my planner out and spend time planning my whole week. For example, Monday's I plan to make any phone calls. Sometimes this can take me a whole hour to accomplish! It frightens me when I look at the clock and see how much time it has taken me. Everyday is filled with something that has to be done. I feel pressured to finish what I have planned for that day. Sometimes I just wish I could stop so that I wouldn't feel like I always had to be doing something. But that is how our society is right? I want to change that, just don't know how! So if anyone has some ideas send them my way!!

I also write lists for things that need to be bought at the store or where I am going on errand days. I keep paper in the car, in the kitchen, by my bed, and in my purse. That way when I think of something I can jot it down and not worry about trying to remember it while I do something else. I think that's a great tip!
