Let's Talk About Lists

Lists. I have lists for lists. Even my subcategory lists have subcategories. Yet I never get things done. I have a love/hate relationship with my lists. Creating them makes me feels good, then I feel awful for not ticking things off. The lists are my feeble attempt at stopping my incessant procrastination, but I just ignore them. I once bought a book on how to beat procrastination, which I never got round to reading (no joke). It wouldn't matter if a list was painted in huge letters on a massive sign in my front garden because I'd still ignore it.

Help!

  • I totally understand this!!! I love making lists so much and it feels even better to tick them off but that rarely happens

    I can't offer any help as I haven't worked out how to actually do what's on a list. Hopefully someone knows

    P.S. I have exams in a couple of months and spent about 4 hours making a revision timetable (I haven't yet done anything on it, but hey it looks pretty and kept me busy for a whileJoy)

  • When I was a student, I gave up on revision timetables. I love filling in my work calendar with lovely coloured boxes for all the things I plan to do, then I spend the rest of the week moving things around because it all went to pot by Monday lunchtime. At least my bosses think I'm busy Grin
