I use multiple to do lists, They have overlapping to dos. As an alternative I employ my wife as a back up (she's louder than the list and gives me kisses and hugs when I accomplish the dos).
So KwithaK made a list so long she doesn't think I can use it all. Let's see...
I will admit I am happy this month since I had my dessert before I took my nap. That did seem to simplify my life some, except for the stupid clown honking his horn in the front yard. He irritated me so much I went out and hit him in the face with a Raspberry Cream Pie.
Then I called my sister so she could come over to help us with eating the pie, and we ended up playing ball with the neighbor kids. Their mother made homemade cookies for us which I thought was very nice of her. After the cookies were finished we took a quick census and decide we had enough people to throw a party and we all ended up doing the Twist to Video Killed the Radio Star.
All in all a pretty fun day with a veritable panoply of things to do and eat!
And not a single item crossed off any of my to do lists!
Oh, I almost forgot. Add to to do list:
Remember to go to bed early tonight because there will be a group of men hammering on the roof tomorrow morning at 6:00am. Hope the neighbors don't shoot anyone!

She then stores them so she doesn't wear the same thing on Aug 15 that she wore on July 15 (afraid someone will say "she wears the same thing the 15 of every month"). Then there is the birthday/anniversary card list on the 1st of every month. I put all of our retirement funds in paper co stock.

All right, all right, Mrs. Dude wins hands down!  I did have a business trip packing list years ago when I worked, but no more. And I only started that list after getting to my hotel room and realizing I forgot to pack my underwear (more than once  ),
LOL at the clothing list!!

There's always my list and then the infamous "honey-do list". I usually have 10-15 items on my to do list and my honey just throws hers at me from time to time.

Today's Question:
Do you keep a "to do" list ?
Nope, no to do list, I know what needs to be done and I just avoid it as much as possible.  but I did clean the pool filters and wash and wax my motorcycle this morning.
I would run out of paper if I was to write a to do list, then I would have to add buy paper to the list and I couldn't because I wouldn't have any paper
Happy month, Woo Hoo

I put important things on my Outlook Calendar and when I wake up in the morning to check on good ol' CD up pops a reminder from Outlook. At work I use a a plain old spiral notebook and write everything down on it and cross it off when I complete my tasks. I get OCD with it and won't leave work until everything is checked off sometimes.

I put things on my computer calendar. It reminds me twice in my e-mails. It works if I turn my computer on which I usually do to answer the question of the day. Loved those dots, Alice T.
I didn't even notice we are having another August 1 tomorrow. Karla is really busy lately.
