Losing Lists and Forgetting My Goals

I saw a writing project over at problogger.net and decided to try it out. It's a project about Blogging Goals...but alas, as we know, I tend to ramble...



Losing Lists and Forgetting My Goals

I am a list maker.

I know you other list makers out there are smiling because you know what I’m talking about. I make lists for everything: packing suitcases, lists of ideas, lists of things to do on a rainy day, lists for books I want to read when I have time, lists for groceries, my goals and more.

I am also a forgetter; not a great combination.

My problem is I always forget my lists and rarely bring them with me when I need them! I remember things at the absolute moment I don’t need to remember things, so I start a list! Don’t bother looking for my list while I’m at the grocery store; I forgot to bring it with me. I go to the library and forget my book list. I never pack from my list for vacations either, though the intention was there. It's the actual process of writing the list that I find comfort in.


Can you see the pattern here?

I’m also a goal maker, and the thing with goals is working towards an accomplishment. Sometimes I reach goals and wonder how I got there!

Now, if only I could find that list of goals…ah, there it is…

1. Write in my blog daily
2. Don’t over think what I want to say
3. Enjoy the process of blogging
