In praise of lists

The plump guy in a red suit is not the only one making a list and checking it twice. I've just updated my massive "to do" list for the next few weeks including the following sublists:

• gift shopping
• festive food orders and shopping
• housekeeping action items
• quilting project deadlines
• magazine publishing deadlines
• teaching/workshop preparation
• Guild Exhibition Secretary tasks
• blog feeding ideas
• website updates
• bill payment dates
• social calendar

I'd never remember it all without my list!
