I love this. Just perfect :-) And this photo layout "suits" your blog so well :-)

Lists huh? Can't live with'em, can't live without'em :-) My advise: make OBTAINABLE lists. Achievable ones. Not the 317-to-do's-I-have-to-check-off-before-lunch. Those just kill you. Like Alexandra says, I find there is always stuff on the list that can easily wait. No need to put them there - not get to them, and feel a failure for not making it. Obtainable goals. Is my tip. (Will you remind me next time I'm in the time managing pickle??) ;o)

Can't wait to see the chickens :-)

oh! the circles are so nice!
maybe you need to make mind maps instead of list...because you're likely to not be able to think in straight lines ; )
maybe circles with lines going out and more circles?
it's a pity that things need to get done, isn't it?
sometimes it'd be nicer if life could just have an organic flow. without deadlines.

I go through phases of making lists - and then completely abandoning the idea of lists. I work better with lists though. I have a month by month thing where I make lists of things that I want to accomplish for that month under set topics, e.g. December: Social, Work, Health, Garden (haha - I've long abandoned that one), Make (my favourite one) and Films/Exhibitions.
On my new list for Make is going to go - learn how to make those circles on Thereza's post!

I love your image list-very smart! If you really want to know-and I warn you now it is quite boring-this is my (new) system for lists. I seem to develop a new one quite often when the old one doesn't work anymore but this one is fairly good. I have a notebook-not too big. The page is divided into two columns-the right hand page only as I use the other side for extra notes. Left hand column-bullet points of tasks, right hand column proposed dates for completion or the lovely procrastinator's word-ongoing. I review it as often as I can but at the minimum once a week and move forwards anything not done. It is working fairly well though by this point in the term I am so overwhemlmed with stuff things tend to fall apart!
Good luck with your list!

2009-11-09T14:35:00.655-08:00

I write down EVERYTHING I fell like I should do. Then I look at everything and ask myself for each point - what happens if I do not do this one now?

I often discover that most things I wrote were not that urgent or important ... and that I put the really important things at the end ...
I should concentrate on them instead

2009-11-09T12:59:00.790-08:00

i totally agree with what aimee said, particularly breaking tasks down into do-able bits. i also like to reward myself with little bonuses for getting things done by a deadline, and usually this is in the form of guilty pleasures (e.g. trashy TV, sleeping in, etc). sometimes i also put things on my list that are fun to-do's as well.

2009-11-09T11:49:10.411-08:00

i love the way you presented this! here's how i manage lists. 1) i make the tasks concrete and achievable, even if it means breaking down one big, vague-sounding strategic activity into several smaller ones. 2) i give myself very tight deadlines on those tasks (time limits are my number one motivator), and 3) i write things on my list i've already done and cross them off. makes me feel like i've gotten a head start on things.

good luck!

Take your time...
