[ayoub]

Do you keep an organised to-do list, and do you stick to it?

no,because i couldn't stick to it and then it's no use to keep it :P

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

I agree, it's good to cross things off, but every to-do list I have gets buried under the mountain of paperwork I build up!

[artist-writer.livejournal.com]

Yes, I would forget my name if I didn't.

Yes, I wouldn't finish all the stuff that needs to be finished without it.

[hecatesdaughter.livejournal.com]

I would say I am sorta Both...

I love making lists to get my thoughts in order but I always seem to "forget" my lists on the countertop or forget to print them out when I write them out on the computer lol

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LOL!

Me too!

[cmerun12.livejournal.com]

Sort of.

I keep a general list of orders with due dates. Those are meant to keep them on the front burners, so I don't forget them.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Usually, I try, but lose the list!

[new-dawn.livejournal.com]

yes i keep one n try as hard as i can to stick to it, but not always 100% successful

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

I don't think you can ever be 100% successful with them, life gets in the way :)

[rowanchey.livejournal.com]

"I'd do her... I'd do her... Oh! Who hasn't done her? ... Lose the pigtails and we'll talk..."

My to-do list sounds about like Stewie Griffin's. LOL!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LMAO!

My kinda list!

[zwizzle.livejournal.com]

Yes!

I make lists all the time. I am lost without them. I also list out goals. Long term, intermediate and short term. I'm always making some sort of list, I couldn't function without them.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

I gave up making them because I just can never find them again!

[kosta-pasta.livejournal.com]

yeah, I do...written right on a toilett paper...

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LMAO!

[red-bull.livejournal.com]

yes - rigidly unless it needs to be prioritised again.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I need to work on my discipline for that... :)

[red-bull.livejournal.com]

it's easy....

polite technique.... 'No' means 'No'

impolite techniques.... "which part of fuck off do you not understand?"

one seems better to me ;)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yep, the first would be better, I'd say :D

[childeofloki.livejournal.com]

No, and if I did, I wouldn't keep it.
I grew up in farm and ranch land, if you try to make a list of things that need to get done you will end up spending the entire time writing, and you won't get shit accomplished. Partly because there are always endless tasks to do, but mostly because of the black hole effect of chores.
To finish one task, you have to do this task to get this tool, but to finish that task you need a different tool which you have to fix, to fix it you need such and such from so and so, so you need to help them with this thing, but to do that you have to finish this other thing, and on and on and on, etc, etc, ad naseum.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

That's one way to do it :)

[kalquessa.livejournal.com]

Do I keep one? Yes.

Do I stick to it? Ahahahahaaaaaa!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

I gave up keeping one because I never stuck to it!

[aishaelderwyn.livejournal.com]

I do keep an organised list yes.
Keeping it on the other hand would involve waking up remember? ;)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

But you're awake now!

[aishaelderwyn.livejournal.com]

so you like to think

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Are you typing in your sleep?

Cool!

Could you teach me that? I could get away with sleeping all day at work!

[crescent-fresh.livejournal.com]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. no.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Sorta like me then :)

I generally only make an organized "to-Do" list as a way to get out of doing things -- I make it really long and complicated and involved and boring so I feel like I'm doing some work, when all along I just meant to blow the lot of it off. I do kind of have a mental checklist running in my head at all times, which will keep rewinding and replaying until I get stuff done. It would actually bug the heck out of me until I got the next thing done, so I could check it off in my head and have a little easier time remembering the next five things. Post-baby, however, all bets are off. Last week, I had a nagging suspicion that there was Something Important I Hadn't Done, and found out when I woke up the next morning I had turned off the crockpot after making a lovely soup for the next night's dinner, and never actually got the full crockpot put in the fridge. ... And I'd been lusting after soup for two weeks, so to lose a whole lovely batch of it was Not Fun!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Losing soup is terrible :(

[ornjkitty.livejournal.com]

It was kielbasa and lentil, so it wasn't like I spend a lot of time on it, but still it was disappointing. I was looking forward to it. Fortunately, I buy in bulk, so I just unthawed the other half of the kielbasa and made more, but still, it's the principle of the thing! Lucky it was something cheap, if I had ruined a beef soup with $50 worth of fresh veggies, I would be MAD!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

Beef Soup is manna from heaven... that would be a travesty!

[ornjkitty.livejournal.com]

**nod*** especially since when I make beef soup, I start out with one pot, and by the time I have added 1 lb. mushrooms, 3 turnips, 3 small rutabagas, chopped fine, 3 parsnips, 1 very large potato, half a bag of baby carrots, some barley, orzo, roasted kasha, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, whatever fresh herbs were available at the store, and odds and whatnots of leftover frozen stuff (peas, etc.), I usually have 3 pots worth.

What can I say? I don't know how to cook things in small batches. It's in the genes. **shrugs**

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LOL!

Sounds delicious!

[ornjkitty.livejournal.com]

Yup.

Lucky for me, Bryan is a good cook, because I can't cook on a daily basis, but I can throw together a mean pot of soup, on occasion. Or a chocolate cake. ;)
