Life is *busy* these days. Maybe life is *always* busy, and maybe *everyone* spends as much time as I running around in circles, just trying to keep up with the basics of *staying above water* in this fast-moving world of ours. Life is busy *around here* because we are still trying to fund some fairly major life expenses heading our way *without* having to leave our cozy little nest of self-employment and *go to work for someone else.* ![0849Posts.jpg](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/denmarkguy/tJqorVLv-0849-Posts.jpg) *Some fairly random posts* ## *Making a List* I can't function without lists. You could make the argument that I am a chronic list maker... and you'd be right. I have pretty much *always* made lists. My mother always thought my lists were *"ridiculous"* because β in her words β *"A young man should be able to remember things."* I started making lists when I was a teenager. I make lists because when someone tells me something β even if it is *vitally important* β it leaves my head 15 seconds later. The same is true of things I remember I have to do. So I write everything down. ![0849Woods.jpg](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/denmarkguy/2STQg1t6-0849-Woods.jpg) *Quiet spot in the woods, Denmark. Yes, that's a stone circle.* ## *Back to Today's List...* I started making my list this morning, and soon realized that what I needed to get done on this day would be utterly impossible for any one human to accomplish. *I need minions!* Part of the irony was that today was actually supposed to be one of my rare *"days off,"* which are essentially days I use to catch up with assorted household chores I haven't been able to get to because my work-related to-do lists are too bloody long! More irony in the fact that I reached the conclusion that I was on a *"Mission Impossible"* quest *before* the usual horde of people came along and said *"Do you have a moment to help me with this?"* No. No I don't...I'm fresh out of "moments." ![0821Leaves2.jpg](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/denmarkguy/vWin5wFz-0821-Leaves2.jpg) *Japanese Maple leaves* ## *One Day... Leads to Another...* Now I'll be the first to admit that we *all* have "busy days" where there is just more that needs to be done than we can hope to accomplish... ... but what happens when pretty much *all* the days are that busy, and what you didn't get done *today* simply carries forward to *tomorrow,* where it gets appended to a *new* almost impossibly long list of things that need to get done? It can get pretty overwhelming. And so, I started my day in a state of feeling overwhelmed, before I even got *started* on doing anything more than *making a list!* Sometimes, life s just *like* that! Thanks for reading! ***How about YOU?*** Are you a list maker, or do you just *"remember things?"* Or are you one of the lucky ones who doesn't care whether anything other than *"what you happen to remember"* gets done? ***Leave a comment-- share your experiences-- be part of the conversation!*** <center>![Power House Creatives Logos FINAL_float.png](https://steemitimages.com/350x250/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmd3ZgczWd8wzLLhwBJ9WkGqf46kfizUHL9qq5zV4Z56gZ/Power%20House%20Creatives%20Logos%20FINAL_float.png)</center> *(As usual, all text and images by the author, unless otherwise credited.

Have you looked into BULLET JOURNALS - it takes life organization, accomplishments and list making to the next level ..... plus a 10 minute deep breathing every morning is great energy leveler to help organize your being hugely βΊοΈππ¦π΄πππ

I wished I am in the lucky ones. But it seems making a to do list happens to be me too. Good thing about it, it helps me to remember things. Bad thing about it, you have to do it. π Posted using [Partiko Android](https://steemit.com/@partiko-android)

I only very occasionally make list. Perhaps I should summon up the discipline to do it more often - because I have always found it so very satisfying to cross "done" lines through the items on my list.

> I can't function without lists. I can't either. I don't know how anybody does! I urge people who seem unable to organize themselves to try this. It doesn't usually get me very far though; some can't seem to organize themselves even to that extent. And yet, my lists are what help me make it through the day. I have little clipboards w/ note paper in every room of my house. (Even in the bathroom. Even in the *car.* ) Things I need from the grocery store. Emails I need to write. Books I want to get from the library. Upcoming birthdays. If it's important enough for me to think about and remember -- it goes on a list. At the appropriate time, I gather them up, consolidate them all into one w/ sections -- and life goes on. it's the only way.

Oh my word, this could have been me writing everything you're saying here @denmarkguy, I'm still chuckling although it really is not funny! But it's good to know we're not alone! I'm also a list maker and also don't even find time to make lists nowadays! I always thought that one day when I retire, I will have time to do stuff like embroidery etc etc. BUT since hubby and I run our BNB post retirement there's no time to even stop! I definitely had more free time when I had an employer as work was left at the office. So now, at the end of each day, we kind of look at each other and ask *What the heck happened?* The days almost compete with one another for busy-ness ;) But that's what keeps the world going not so?

Firstly, congratulations on being selected by @catweasel and @enchantedspirit for their curation reward for their The Magnificent Seven effort! I am not a regular list maker, I am pretty good at remembering my "to do's", however, on the odd occasion when the list seems to be really long and I have a deadline I am trying to meet and am pressed for time, I go through the list and prioritize what definitely needs to be done first and what I can let slip by... it helps to relieves my mind and makes me less frazzled.... hmmmm... maybe I need to make lists more often. I truly enjoyed your post!
