I'm a list person. I am not sure when that happened. I think it developed when I was an engineer working on multiple projects...I needed visuals to keep me focused....So for 10 years I have been using lists. And it got to be a crutch such that if I did not have a list to reference, I would do absolutely nothing...with an awkward feeling that I should be doing something more productive with my time. I wrote down my priorities of what i wanted to accomplish for the day. And thinking about it, if something was really a priority (meaning true to my core), I would not need a list. For example, I don't need to write down to eat or go to sleep, only because I really value these activities. I do know others, that claim to "forget to eat sometimes" or have atypical circadian rhythms...
The lists definitely help me....and after doing this for 10 years, i think I have yet to discover a more efficient way to ensure my priorities get done. My lists were way to ideal...I would need 5 clones to complete my list...so typically I could check of 50% of my tasks....and this is the list of top picks of the partly tangible master list of things that should be done today. This is horrible for esteem because my list represents over half by life underachieved....which is sending that message in the universe which will always boomerang...
Tip: if your a list person with constant uncompleted lists, take notice and analyze of which tasks you complete and the ones that get neglected.
