I don’t have anything against improvement.
I don’t have anything against goals.
I am anti-list.
I am just not a list person.
Is she really going to blame her lack of resolution-keeping on not liking lists?
I have tried to make lists.
I have made fabulous lists.
I have followed lists…
for a moment, for a day, for a week.
And then the list is forgotten.
All the super important information detailed on the very crucial list is gone.
And the list becomes a pile.
A pile of lists.
And then I walk by and see the pile.
And then I freak out about the pile.
And then I go through the pile.
And see all the very important lists.
And then I freak out about the list.
Since I am working toward a lower stress level in 2009…
My resolution is to stop making lists.
Please note that this resolution is not in list-form.Last year I made a list of resolutions.
Last year I broke all those resolutions.
I am thinking that maybe resolutions aren’t really for me…

First time here, came because I saw the title somewhere else and wanted to read the Pun-Meister blog. Great stuff here.
1. I totally got the pun in the title
2. I would die if I had to go a day without making lists.
3. My resolution is to floss more. I think I’ve already achieved it.
Nuh uh, no lists here either. A close friend of mine gave list making kits out for Christmas… I am sooo re-gifting it 😉
I like lists, I just don’t read them. 🙂 Hope your 2009 is wonderful!
I looove lists. My lists have little check boxes next to them so I can mark the tasks as I complete them. Sometimes my lists are in Excel, sometimes color-coded, sometimes both.
I would never remember anything if I didn’t make a list. And although I do lose my list 50% of the time… that leaves me with remembering things 30% of the time.
20% of the time I have my list but I don’t feel like doing or getting anything on it so I throw it away. 😀
If you took my lists away I would start hyperventilating.
You’re so witty – love the title of this post! Good luck with your non-list making in the new year!
great idea. 🙂 i love lists, but don’t always do what is on them. i feel it is much better, for me at least, to make lists of what i have already done, not what i have to do. lol 🙂
have a great year in 2009, i can’t wait to read more about you and your family here.
xoxoxo
Thank God that you just have a pile and not ‘piles’. They really hurt and are way more embarrassing than broken resolutions.
