I make lists for almost everything I do. My lists run the gamut from; To Do, To Call, Grocery, Chores, Need to Fix (broken into 2 lists: needs immediate attention or would be nice), Vacation Essentials, Christmas and so on. I enjoy checking off things completed on my lists and as crazy as it may sound, I also enjoy carrying forward any unchecked items to my next day\u2019s \u201cto do\u201d or \u201cto buy\u201d list.
