I love making lists. So much so that - nerd that I am - I carry around a little notebook full of to-do lists. It's less about control, more about a poor memory - and the sad fact that I just like ticking things off when I've done them.
So I was delighted to spot this BBC article 'The art of list-making'. I particularly liked this statement: "Psychologists say that obsessive compulsive list makers are trying to create an illusion of control in otherwise chaotic lives."
I'm not sure I agree - it certainly won't stop me making lists - but read the article and decide for yourself.
