Dear Lists,

Thank you for the following:
  • Reminding me of my priorities 
  • Providing a certain sense of order (especially when everything around me seems chaotic)
  • Helping to get things done (Sorry, but I do enjoy ticking you off)
  • Getting a whole muddle of things out of my head and onto the page
  • Bringing a few potentially lonely things (flour...milk...eggs) together and making them belong
  • Being disposable and sometimes recyclable
Oh, dear, wonderful lists, you are loved by control freaks, OCD sufferers and simple list-lovers alike.  Once I wrote the longest To Do list - gosh it was overwhelming.  Strangely, by the next day I had misplaced you.  At first I panicked but after a while I felt liberated! 
Thank you, lists

P.S This blog post is dedicated to my friend, Catherine, who is neither a control freak or an OCD sufferer.  Once we wrote a book of lists just for the sheer pleasure of it.

  1. A list of why your blog about lists is so great:

    1. It is so true - where would we be without lists?
    2. It has inspired me to write a list (this one in fact)
    3. It is dedicated to me :) !!
