Calling all list writers (light hearted)

34 replies

This is a light hearted thread.
I've been wondering - if you like writing lists, as I do, if you complete a task that was not on the list, do you then add it on to the list and then cross it off?
Or am I completely barking mad? 🙈😂

I don’t think you’re a real list-writer if you don’t do this.

Professional list writers actually recommend it for the feeling of achievement. So I have to.

I always write a list at the start of the day and usually only complete a couple of things on that list, so at the end of the day I write a list of everything I did do to make myself feel better!

I add them on and cross them off because everyone needs to know how much work I've done Grin

Yes I also put outings in my diary eg walk with friend A after the event.
Otherwise I would feel like Billy no mates when I flick back through my diary Grin

I don’t know about adding things I’ve already done but I always put in a few things I obviously will do - make dinner - teeth, face,bed. As a PP said I like the credit!

Absolutely! And I write ‘make list’ and cross that off first!
