I love lists because: 1. they make you feel like you have done something even if you haven't 2. when you cross them off it makes you feel like you have done something even if you haven't; and 3. when you finish them, it makes you feel like you have done something even if you haven't.
List works well for visual learners, such as myself. For auditory learners, recording things on a dictaphone is better, and for kinaesthetic learners, I can't remember :P I think, it's good for them to have a noticeboard with what they need to do pinned up. I learned this from a Hellen Buttegeig book.
Haha, joke about lists as much as you like. I used to agree. But now I know that when my mind is paralysingly overwhelmed, lists create a sense that everything is under control, so that I CAN do something.
Making a list is itself a rewarding thing. It makes you feel like you've at least taken the step to bother to make a list. In fact, it can be the first item on your to-do list to be crossed out: Make a list. Check!
