Are you a ‘to do list’ person?
I confess that I’m an inveterate – possibly even compulsive – ‘to do list’ person. I think that it all started with my university studies when I kept lists to ensure that I completed all my projects on time and had a good revision timetable for exams.
These days, I still do my daily ‘to do’ list on paper and love ticking off accomplished tasks. Each daily list includes adding a posting to this blog. I reckon that it makes me efficient and ensures that I don’t miss deadlines.
However, in addition to the daily list on paper, I have another six electronic lists on my iPhone (things to buy, books to read and so on).
Now, my wife – she’s the exact opposite. The only lists she ever makes are shopping lists and she usually forgets them at home.
In the colour supplement of today’s “Guardian” newspaper, Oliver Burkeman devotes his column to his list-keeping habit.
What kind of person are you?
