I’m the same way, too. I’m reluctant to make schedules because when something throws me off I have an anxiety attack, and then I’m crippled with indecision for the rest of the day. Right now I’m trying to do without the to do’s, and just go with the flow. It’s much less stressful, and I’m still managing to be productive. But it’s early yet. We’ll see how it goes.

I make liberal use of the reminder alarms on my cell phone, which is never more then three feet from my body at any given time. I have them set for three times a day for my vitamins, twice a week to change the cat litter, once a week to do my tutoring prep, etc. All social engagements go in a little calendar in my purse and anything work related goes into my Outlook, with, of course, pop-up reminders.

I’m known as the sort of person who will always remember your birthday and that sort of thing, but I’m totally not. I’m just good about setting myself notes because I know I’ll forget in three seconds.

I’m not a list maker but somedays I wonder if I should be. Maybe i’d be more productive. I’ve tried to make lists in the past, but I find that even after the most detailed ‘to do’ list, I never check it.

When I was 13, I refused to write anything down in my stupid planner thing I got in school. I staunchly continued to refuse, refusal which has lasted through today. I write HW assignments in the appropriate notebook margins around the doodles.

I think the only time I make lists is for trips. I have no idea where the negativity comes from, but I HATE writing things down for myself. My mom and grandma do it all the time, though. Maybe writing lists come with maturity and wisdom…

Goodness, I’m with ya! I live and breathe (and conquer the world?) by via toodledo (http://www.toodledo.com). I’m not sure my cats (much less my husband) would eat if I didn’t have a reminder about it. :)

I am the SAME WAY. Although I only occasionally include a wake time, breakfast, shower, and other seemingly obvious steps are always included when I’m making the Overwhelmed & Overstimulated To-Do List.

If it works for you, it works for you.

And I worship Susie Ghahremani. I want to BE one of her owls.

The to do list is a very necessary part of my life. It soothes me.
