A list is only as good as the list maker
I have always had a soft corner for lists. Without them I always end up buying yogurt that I would eventually trash.
But these odd scraps of paper that have tasks etched on them seem to have a demure status. They can only constantly remind you of what is to be done but never make you actually do it. A nagging list can be just as easily crumpled and destroyed. But a well made list enables superior organizing power and ensures at least most of the tasks are accomplished. And of course no list can ever be complete for it lacks the ability to capture the abstract. That empty or excited feeling that prequels or sequels a trip…
A trip of 90 days; across the ocean and back! It is with great pleasure that I now attempt to break my routine here to start a new one amongst the edges of the Bavarian black forests. Only, of course, after a completely checked check list.
Have a safe flight!
I love making lists too…I like to re-use paper I’d have otherwise trashed.Save the trees!
Havent seen you so excited about anything besides your car…:) i’m glad that the list worked out your german trip plan perfectly. Wish you many more to come !
🙂 …though I’d never thought abt it, i realise tht i do indeed love lists too, esp the satisfaction of the tick ! 🙂
Have a safe journey !
Jasmine: Thanks! I also like folding a paper and then writing many lists on them folded parts
Priya: Thanks! I am sure I missed a few items but what you dont know doesnt hurt you 🙂
Upasna: Thanks!
Dear Dunna,
I also used to make lists when there was no one to remind me about things I will miss. Now with constand reminders I don’t have to make any lists. This reminds me to remind you to get one ready-made reminder like me at earliest.
Love,
Baba
