How Really Important is List-making
Whereever I go, Whatever I do, a list invariable precedes most of my activities. Be it a holiday, groceries, appointments, diet planner, shopping, chores, etc. etc. For anything and everything, there is always a LIST leading me forward. List-Making is important, here’s why:
How Really Important is List-Making. Very! Proof of claim below:
Organization: Making a list is a superb way of getting set to do something. It helps to de-clutter and arrange things in a more functional manner. It’s great way to get started with organizing yourself – setting your goals and planning how to go about achieving them.
Stress busting: Planning and preparation is useful in ordering any activity and making it less chaotic! Even a simple list like, “Things To Do Today”, is effective in reducing the stress that builds up from keeping it all in the mind only.
Enhances Performance: Writing down activities makes them more concrete. When you write a list, it gives you a clear perspective of your goals. Putting it down on paper means greater visibility, which in turns means, higher chance of getting the task over and done with! A list plays an important role in enhancing your performance and ensuring task completion.
Helps to Prioritise: A list will show you more clearly how you can go about an activity to attain optimal results. You can plan more effectively which tasks are more important to tackle first and so on.
You don’t have to worry about forgetting: Once your list is made, it acts as a record which you can refer to at any time. So you don’t have to try to remember anymore.
Prevents procrastination: When the points are written out in a list, there is more likelihood of you doing it now rather than forever leaving it for a future date.
Feel good factor: Last but not the least, Ticking off a task on your list as completed gives you a wonderful sense of accomplishment and leaves you feeling good for it!
So, what you waiting for? Get going…Happy List Making. Cheers!

This seems to work well for alot of people. It is advised. I normally don’t do it, but I am not opposed to doing so. I’m sure there will be times when it will be helpful to list activities. Thanks for the reminder

I always make those list of what I’ve got to do, but also always have a difficulty in following it LOL. Nice advice. Thank you ^_^

I always write a list. Makes it less likely that I’ll divert onto something interesting but not essential. Doesn’t always work, though!

I love Triond’s article placement algorithm and the wierd decisions it makes. This article, in mental health? Probably just because you mentioned “worrying” several times! I’m wondering now where you actually intended it to be placed?

Whenever I make a list, I get a lot more done. I get the satisfaction of scratching off those chores I have completed. My problem, however, is procrastinating on making a list. Maybe there is a list for procrastination. I wonder what it would look like. : ) Thanks for reminding me to do a list or two now. I’m juggling priorities.
