I love a list. I get this from my mother who is never too far away from a spiral bound reporter’s notebook detailing week upon week of actions. We would often discuss the rules of list making, for instance, if you’ve forgotten to put something on your list but you’ve completed it, can you add it to your list and then immediately cross it off? The answer is a resounding ‘Yes’ of course! List making for my trip began in earnest in November; a list for home actions, travel actions and work actions (as I was doing a bit of marketing consultancy). Plus a master list of lists. All actions then transcribed into daily to dos. For those productivity geeks out there check out www.rememberthemilk.com for pure list porn. Don’t judge me on this one!
