Travel List

When I travel I need a list to help me pack for the trip.  Here are the Categories I use in my travel list:

• Personal
• Toiletries
• Components
• Garments
• Food
• Kids
• Medical
• Other

Here is the document that I use.

If you have other categories I'd love to hear from you.

Happiness is a list

Happiness is making a list because:

• I can stay focused
• I get a kick out of crossing off an item!
• I have a place to corral ideas that I keep generating
• Once it is written down, I don't have to keep remembering
• I feel organized
• A list brings order to my planning
• I can make sure I am doing the most important thing - i.e. prioritize

List of Reasons Why I List

Here are a few reasons I love to write lists.

• Written purpose has power
• Set goals - so I can attain them
• Organize my thoughts
• A To Do list is manageable
• Crossing it out gives me a sense of accomplishment
• Collection of items (books to read, places to visit, presents to give, etc...)
• If I write it down, later I can see how far I've come
• Lists provide clear structure

What are some of your reasons?  I love to hear yours.
