I love reading lists too. When I see a blog post titled "5 ways to...", "7 ideas for...", "10 things that...", you can bet I'll click through and read it. I need to work on more list posts for this blog! Meanwhile, on this Friday night, here is a list of inspiring and informative posts from other blogs that will leave you listless no more.

I love lists too...like you said, somehow it makes me feel like I'm in control ! Have a great Diwali !
ReplyDeleteHappy Diwali to you too!
Deleteoh yeah! started with packing lists when i was going to hostel... now i have lists for everything... sometimes i will wake up from my sleep and make a list if i am having a particularly stressful day
ReplyDeletePacking lists! So useful- and I still usually forget to pack something. Yes, lists do help you sleep better by removing thoughts onto paper.
DeleteI absolutely love making lists and a teeny weeny satisfaction when I strike off task from it :-). Thanks so much for the mention of my post.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very Happy Diwali. May god bless you and your family with loads of joy, good food and good health as well.
Hugs,
Siri
Thank you for the sweet wishes, Siri, and wishing you the same! Did you make all 100 treats from your list??
DeleteGreat post, Nupur! Have you read "The Checklist Manifest" by Atul Gawande? I think you will enjoy reading it.
ReplyDeleteSoniya
Yes, I did read it and liked it very much. Makes perfect sense to use lists for everything, groceries to brain surgery.
DeleteHi Nupur,
ReplyDeleteAm a big fan of your blog, and follow it regularly. And am so glad that for November, you will blog everyday!
I understand one generally does not post their blog links in the Comments section. But I wanted to share a blog post I wrote on making lists: http://amishi-shahmerchant.blogspot.com/2012/02/worried-about-daily-meals-kickstart.html
Making lists makes things a lot easier - in terms of planning, and having extra time on hand. I absolutely understand if this comment has to be deleted since I give my blog's URL here.
Thanks!
Great tips! Thanks for sharing them.
DeleteLoved the links. I gotta try the Tiny Buddha one soon - kinda stuck in limbo about certain things. That just may provide the clarity I need. Thanks, N! Happy Diwali to you all!
