Good Afternoon, Ray ~~
I got a chuckle out of your post because it so closely mirrors the way I sometimes handle the making of lists. If "to do" thoughts present themselves like a batch of corn popping in my head, I find I write on whatever piece of paper, Post-It, or periodical, etc. that's close - in hopes of not losing those kernels of plans needing deliberate and undivided attention. After some time passes (and hopefully some of the tasks can be crossed off) it's time to "UNITE those Lists" into one or two Master Lists. (Better for me to put one list for kitchen-type duties on the refrig. and one list for the rest on my desk in the living area). Ahhh, feels like I've decluttered already! ✍️😃

Best to you, Ray! Hope you and your partner have a wonderful, classic R & R holiday weekend, and may all who love Connect find refreshment in whatever special way they choose to observe it.

Hi, Barb

I love "corn popping"! What a perfect way to describe the snap, crackle, pop of the day's little reminders. I wonder, though, if I'm the only one who's given up on the idea of lists. I used to be a furious list-maker, lists of all sorts. I gave up making lists a couple of years ago because I only found they depressed me, not the day I made them but the following day when I'd be made to face not the handful of things I had gotten done but the gazillion things I had NOT gotten done. 🙂 I decided I'd take a chance and trust that if an item were really important enough, it would have a way of reminding me without some angry post-a-note dangling from my Mr. Coffee. I do make one exception, however, and that's a grocery list. Without a grocery list, added to day-by-day, I end up drifting about the aisles of the supermarket for hours. Maybe days. (List-less-ly?)
