Does anyone else organise their life with lists?

[C0ffin D0dger]

I've got a fair few lists of stuff I should have done / should be doing. Not much, if any, of it gets done. Between work and my kids I don't have a lot of spare time for jobs at the moment.

I find lists very helpful. I've tried to use a few list apps, but never took to any, just notes for basic shopping lists, evernote for cross platform longer term stuff and calendar for something that needs a timely reminder like MoTs/insurance renewal. I never bothered with shopping lists when younger, as it would pretty much be 'beer, food' anyway. But now when my wife chips in during the day with the things I should pick up before going home, it's good to keep a list to not miss anything.

I have a paper list at work, not sure why I don't use an electronic list at work. It gets re-prioritised and rewritten every so often when a lot gets crossed off (I always date these when crossed off too), but it usually goes down in a satisfactory manner seeing things ticked off rather than deleted from an electronic list.

Without lists, my work life would be chaos - It's helping me realise that I'm overloaded and, more importantly, it gives me evidence that I can take to my manager and say "nope, I'm not doing anything else". OneNote is invaluable for this.

At home, I operate well with lists to make sure jobs and other things get done - I use it for doing a roast dinner too, working backwards from when I want to serve through to "cook veg, rest meat, peel/boil potatoes, put potatoes in to roast", etc.

There's some satisfaction in ticking things off a list - If it's things I absolutely have to do, I use OneNote...

At work I have a 'to do' list

At home I write reminders / jobs for me on the kitchen blackboard, so another 'to do' list

For personal travel, I use the Notes on my Phone for each trip, so that's 3 'to do' lists!

I don't beleve I'm OCD, just bloody forgetful if I don't write st down!
