List Making

Making Lists
something I rarely do
and yet so very reassuring

Measuring out my life with check marks for tasks completed

What do I list
tasks to complete
calls to make
groceries to buy

and when they are checked off
what have I accomplished?

measures based on numbers of tasks completed
a life contained in the activities that
can be counted and measured

so reassuring
tangible
not abstract
visual and contained.

    I have always loved lists—even more so since reading "Getting Things Done" by David Allen.

    Here's a helpful post about GTD and lists:
