I love to make lists. REALLY love to make lists. If you know me well at all then you know this about me.  I make so many lists that some people regularly tease me about it.

Maybe it’s more of a case where I can’t help myself from making lists. When I’m frustrated or stressed it’s the only way I can make sense of whatever is stressing me. I also love the sense of order I get out of taking a jumble of chaotic thoughts and ideas and lining them up on paper. It makes me feel grounded, stable, and in control.  And the sense of accomplishment I get from crossing things off the To Do list… it’s wonderful.

Tonight I learned that I’m not the only Listaholic out there, in fact there are several of us blogging our lists after being inspired by The 52 Lists Project. So I’ve decided to try and do the same. How do you know if you’re a Listaholic? Here’s a handy list of questions to find out…

You know you are a list maker
if you answer yes to any of the following questions.

1. Do you carry a notebook around just to write lists in?
2. Do you write items on your to do list that you’ve already completed just for the thrill of marking it off?
3. Do you currently have at least three different lists going?

Needless to say I answered yes to all three, what about you?
