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… 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 2009My resolution is to stop making lists. Please note that this resolution is not in list-form.

  1. Ah well… lists are just recyclables anyway. Unless you are talking about todoist.com <–great site.

    Happy New Year, Miss Holly

  2. I make lists all the time, but I almost always end up losing them. If I could keep track of where my list was at I would probably be better at following it.

  3. I get a lot of satisfaction out of writing a good list. Because in my imagination I am very organised and a good list keeps that fantasy ticking along…

  4. I need a 12 step program for lists. I hate them, but I don’t have the strength to stop relying on them. When I make a new list, I add the unfinished stuff from the old list, and I avoid the piles. That’s just my tip for you.

  5. lists stress me too much. too much pressure to perform. i love your new layout…i thought i was lost for a minute. very cool!

  6. i love lists! i have lists running in my head and on paper all the time. when we got back to the states i found a list from before we moved to turkey. it was a list of all our antique furniture and who was holding it for us. i was happy to have it! now i know who to go to to beg for my stuff back! yeah lists!
