Lists Making Lists Making lists is a very good way or organizing your life, home and mind. Reminder lists on wipe clean boards, black boards etc placed on the wall are an excellent way of reminding other people and yourself of things that need to be done, or important dates. A wipe clean board or blackboard is especially good for a 'running' shopping list. Other members of the household can write down things that are running low or have run out. If everyone plays their part it will save you time running around the home before your weekly shop.
Some people have a day book.
In this book they list all the things that need to be done on that day. Chores, telephone calls, letters to write and so on. Each item can be ticked of as they are done. This system has helped me many times. You know when you have a day when you just feel awful and want to have a rest.
