Lists, Lists and More Lists

I often have people question the number of lists I make on a daily basis, but I find that if I don’t write things down, I forget them. Momentarily. It’s sad.

So, today’s post is a list of all the lists I have on my Pocket PC right now. Actually, I have so many lists, that I had to organize them in folders. Today I’ll share one. This is my Shopping Folder. It contains lists of things I need to by now, things to buy later, things to keep on hand, things we’re running low on. This is probably my most used list folder. We live about 20 miles from most of the places we shop, so Pickle and I usually only drive in once a week. If I forget something, then it’s a week before I’ll go back. I designed the lists so I wouldn’t forget things when I’m out shopping. I think it would work if only I could remember to write items on the lists as I think of them throughout the week. Aah well, you can’t win them all, right?

What kind of lists do you make? Where do you keep them? Are you a day planner, a notebooker or an electronic list keeper like me?
