Ha! My wife has at least 20 lists laying around here all the time and starts another 3 or 4 every day. I’m not real sure it works for some people. It’s a habit, nothing more.
Worst idea I’ve ever heard. We can’t get to sleep because there is too much on our minds and it surely won’t help to get up and make a TO DO LIST! We need cutoff switches to our brains. I try to remember the good times/memories to crowd out all the things that are bugging me that keep me awake. Reading will put me to sleep better.
Or watching a Braves baseball game taking place on the west coast during MLB season. THAT will do it for us in the Eastern time zone...I don’t think I made it through 9 innings last season for games on the west coast - especially if it went extra innings. Figured I could wait until morning to get the final score.
And yes, we women do keep lists - it helps to organize our DAYS - not our nights!
That’s a poor way to keep track of what you gotta do.
You should have only one list, written in any order which you then prioritize.
My wife does the same thing, and she’s constantly looking for her to do lists.
