List it Tuesday ~ {@ work} !

I told you I was a list maker right ? I just can't function if I don't have lists. Seriously ... my brain doesn't hold as much information as it needs to. In order to compensate for that, I make lists. If it goes on my list, it gets remembered. If it doesn't make it to my list, it will most likely be forgotten.

This is my desk at work. It is covered in lists. Semi-Permanent lists that I tape to my desk ! There is a list for each of the people that I need to remember to ask or tell things to regularly. There are 5 of those lists. There is a list for the day that I am on ... that's a to do list. There is a list of the things that have to happen every week on certain days. There is a list of things I need to buy for work. A list of things I need to do but only when I have time. There is a missions list, an announcements list and a list of things that need to go into the weekly email. LIST . LIST . LIST .

I love crossing things off my lists. I cross things off all day long. I also add new things all day long ... it's an ever changing, habitually continuing, sanity maintaining system that is absolutely necessary for me.

How about you ? Are you a list maker ?

List it Tuesday is over at artsyville ... all you do is post a handwritten list and then comment to let them know you've participated ! Super fun ! I loved looking at all the lists last week and can't wait to see everyone's lists this week !!

List it Tuesday ~ Alia's {to do} !

It's not often these days that I get time to sit and browse around in blog land. But I love to read the Corner View posts especially so I try to find time on a Thursday to do that. I just love 'traveling' to other parts of the world through the photos posted each week ! This last Thursday, I was traveling around and stumbled upon something that looked so neat ! And right up my alley !! List it Tuesday ! It's over at artsyville, one of my favorite artsy blogs ... and all you do is post a handwritten list and then comment to let them know you've participated ! I love it !

I've had this list saved to blog for ages now ! I had scanned it last week even and then when I was thinking about which list to post first, this one came to mind ! It was written by my Alia ... she's 7 now but she wrote it a few months ago when she was still 6. She came in and showed me one morning and totally blew my mind ! She is so like me in this area ! My little list maker ! In fact, Rory came out the other night and said "I went in to tell Alia a couple of things she needs to remember. She grabbed her little bag, found the pencil and pad inside and started making a list ! If there ever was any doubt that she was your child (uh, I'm pretty sure I remember carrying her for 9 months but whatever ... !!) this is proof !"

So ... here it is. My first List it Tuesday ! It's Alia's list of jobs so she doesn't forget ... Let me read it to you. Bed. Toilet. Breakfast. Beaky's food. (it's her job to feed the cat !) Teeth. Go to bed. (seems she's been through the day and is now at night time) Get dressed (obviously she's now slept the night) Hair. Dishwasher (she loads it) Shoes and wit sokes on your feet. (Shoes and with socks on your feet) Get your bag ready. Lunch box. If you have tim (time) you can play in your rom (room) or help your mummy pack the lunchs (lunches) or woch (watch) your Mom on the conpuoa (computer) You play a game. (you being her ...) Put my bag awe (away) Put your things from your lunch box into the dishwasher.

It's a pretty comprehensive list ! I love it !! I also love how she's illustrated it a bit. Added numbers in boxes. 2, 3, 4 and 32 ! Gotta get your priorities right ! and I especially love the check marks that show where she used it for a week !! Such a clever girl ...

Well, I'd better wrap this up. I've been downloading the photos from my camera to my computer while I wrote this ... slows things WAY down ! But the 550 photos are now on the computer, time to sort through them, get the load of laundry hung up and then think about getting ready for work. :) Hope you all have a great day !! See you soon ...
