Do you have a To Do List?

[GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat]

I have one constantly on the go. I break it down in to daily tasks. Sometimes hourly or even per 15 minutes.

I have GAD and am just wondering if this is an offshoot from that. Or an I just really organised? (I’m not- I’m an anxious procrastinator!)

I feel a bit of a mess to be honest. Not really sure what’s normal anymore.

I have several ...love crossing things off I also use Home Routines - an app which I think was recommended on here once.

Oh good! I might need an app now too

I use lists a lot. Most of the time it's so I don't forget things but also so my family can look at them and do stuff on them. I love coming to my list and finding half of it crossed through 😁

I have a notebook with to-do lists on my desk at work, and that is really handy. Perhaps I should start doing the same at home.

Wow how do you get others to do and cross things off your list? That’s witchcraft!

At work I started writing my list on
Post it notes- scrunching you was more satisfying that crossing out!
When all the neon squares have gone, I can go home!
Can't function without a list.

Scrunching up paper obviously!

I do sometimes for work or for organising my entries into different photography competitions but otherwise no, I don't tend to plan that much and just do things as they crop up.

Yes, at home and at work. I get anxious without them.

I ALWAYS have a to do list. Even if it's not written down (it mostly is). Compulsive organiser.

Ok feeling better now! I always have a list too, however I have noticed that when I am less anxious, I use my lists less. Like a control thing. Definitely.

I have loads of lists on the go
shopping list on kitchen counter, to do on phone, then other ones for example books that I want to read.

I find writing things as they pop in to my head frees up a bit of headspace!

It never really occurred to me that my family wouldn't do stuff on my to do lists! It may be because I am disabled so they're used to helping out 😁

They’ll do things if I tell /ask. I don’t think they would voluntarily seek out my list though. Dh does all the food shopping for example, but he hates it if I hand him a list.

I like to start my to do list with a couple of things I've already done so I can have something crossed off.

No but I should actually have one and tell ask others in the house to also do, things as they probably would sometimes occasionally with a bit of direction??

I do occasionally experience the gratification of writing a shopping list and leaving it on the side, for it to disappear and bags full of food to magically appear in its place

Now that is magic GreenGrass!

Whoops sorry, GreenGauges...

Massive list writer here.

Also owner of massive collection of list writing related stationery. Something about a magnetic notepad with “To do” written at the top just does it for me!!

I'm mad for lists and I also have GAD . It's all about control!

Constantly use lists, normally have one for what I need to do that day and always have other longer term ones in my phone that I refer to. Helps me remember things and I think also makes me more likely to do them for the sense of satisfaction of ticking things off.

@grafittiartist post-it notes have an app where you can create lists using post-it’s and it even lets you ‘scrunch’ them up when they’re done!

I like to start my to do list with a couple of things I've already done so I can have something crossed off.

If I do something that's not on my list, I write it down so I can cross it off.

I write a new one each day for work. I call in (in my head anyway) the 'Teedee-Elle'.

Outside of work I don't use it. I prefer to be a bit more spontaneous and relaxed with my home life than I do with work, where I pride myself on being particularly efficient.

I have a paper book with a daily list; it gives focus in and out of work.
