That used to be me and lists. I thought I was alone in the extreme euphoria I felt when making a list, organizing it just so, and then I saw these bad boys and I felt reborn.
Allow me to give you a list of my favorite lists to make:
- Christmas Lists: I keep one all year long and update it once a month. Actually, I keep two - one in my phone and one on Amazon.
- Packing Lists: Traveling used to be so fun and relaxing. The only good thing to come out of liquid restrictions and all that hoopla now means I get to add “to buy at location” list, along with the “pack in suitcase” and “pack in carry-on” lists. It’s the little things.
- And last, but so very much NOT least, grocery lists. My FAVORITE list is a grocery list. I just love digging through my recipes for the week, and going through the fridge and cabinets and cleaning them out, making room for the new food for the new meals.
I organize my grocery list according to aisle or shopping section…that’s just how I roll, people!
Seriously, though, organizing it that way cuts down significantly on the time you spend in the store, plus minimizes impulse buys. If you’re anything like me, that saves both money AND pounds.
Then I go through my coupons and mark which ones have a coupon. It’s a weird ritual, and it makes me so happy. And now, thanks to this awesome list pad, it’s all organized!
If grocery lists aren’t your thing, the good folks at Buttoned Up also carry errand lists, general to-do lists, and other fun pads to help you have fun organizing.
Now tell me, are you a list person? Do you do yours daily or weekly? Are you a cross-out or check-mark person? Share your shame, People!
