Question Do you make lists of things you need to do so you don't forget?

When it comes to cleaning, do you make a list of what needs to get done?

or

Do you have a day of the week assigned to each cleaning task?

I do this. I have my cleaning schedule broken down into various tasks. I assign a couple of big tasks each day so I'm not overwhelmed with doing everything on one day. Plus, I know that everything is getting done throughout the week.

This is a running joke in my house...I LIVE BY lists...I have lists for my lists. Everything must go on one..Shopping, to do, cleaning, dinners for certain days...everything....I can't function without them. Think I have issues?

I can function only with lists - if I don't have a list for a day, then nothing gets done that day.

This is me as well, also if I do something I didn't have on my list I would write it just to cross it out. I have lists for lists as well. right now on my kitchen counter I have a looseleaf paper with multiple lists on it I wrote out before I went to bed last night. It has a meal plan for the day, a to do list for house work and a extra if I get it all done to do list. I think I have a little OCD

I am a list maker. I make lists. DH does not appreciate my lists as much as I do but if I don't have a list I can't get my thoughts in order.

I am the worlds record holder for making lists!

When we go on vacation I make a list of the list's that i have made

But my problem is that when I go shopping I forget my list

I had to go to the courthouse monday, to do some title searches for work and guess what, I forgot my list of the title searches that I had to do!!!!

God yes. I'm always making lists. The problem is when I forget where I put the list. DH is worst than I am, he even loses the lists I give him for the grocery store.

I have a list of things I need to get done that week and cross them off as I go. I have a list of daily things in my head (dishes, laundry, vac, cat box) but I do those as soon as breakfast is done so I don't forget.
