If I don’t write it down, it’s almost as though it isn’t real.
That’s just totally deranged isn’t it.
But without my lists, I’d be lost. It’s funny that I’m now completely out of sorts without my lists of things to do. When I was in my 20’s, I gave my Mom a undoubtedly difficult time for the lists he typically kept in his front shirt pocket. He’d be kicked back in his recliner soaking up some Heating plus A/C cooling when mom would ask him if he had done a certain thing. And Mom would pull out his list to see if that was something that got evaluated off. If it wasn’t, then that was the end of lounging in the air conditioner and he’d finish that task. Well, I’m now in that sort of spot where if it’s not on my list, then I’m not going to remember to get it done. I noticed the need for lists just a few years ago. The Heating plus A/C air filter was typically getting forgotten. I’d go a couple of months or more and forget to change out the air filter for the Heating plus A/C equipment. And that’s not a superb thing to forget. A clogged and dirty air filter only forces the Heating plus A/C component to labor that much harder. And that’s just currency wasted really. So I started out with a bi-weekly to do list that I kept on the fridge. Sure enough, I started decreasing the air filter every month without fail and even calling promptly for Heating plus A/C service as well. But that one list on the fridge is now a small notebook that I have to carry with myself and others everywhere I go.
