The List

10:00 AM | Posted by Heather | | Edit Post
Every year my husband and I make our Christmas lists for the kids.  We take each childs’ wishes into account.  We make our decisions on what is to be purchased and go out into the shopping frenzy.  Every year I swear we will do it sooner next year.  This NEVER happens.  SIGHS! 

My husband is a list maker.  We have lists on what is for dinner, lists on what do on his days off and lists for shopping. Now I am all for this list making, as it keeps my house peaceful and orderly. 

I have come to learn to not only use the list method of dealing with life but to enjoy it. I have embraced the list.  It is a necessary thing when your husband and son both have ADD, when you have a teenage daughter with an active social life, and when you homeschool and are just trying to make it through the day. 

Why lists are helpful:

  1. Making a list can help to keep your day on track.  (Make a to do list before bed)
  2. Accomplishment is visible if your list is printed out and you can see things being marked off.
  3. Lists can help your organize your thoughts about things. 
  4. You can use them in almost every aspect of your life, professional goals, personal goals, and family goals.

Some tips for writing lists

  1. They don’t have to be well written
  2. They can be short or long
  3. They have to matter
  4. They can be simple or wordy
