2. Is the list related to your home, work, health, or is it a hybrid list? Think about categorising to streamline.
3. Why are you writing this list? Is it a) cathartic b) functional c) to waste time.
4. Who is this list for, yourself? For someone else? Is the list completely private, would you like someone else to see it by accident? Think about what you will do with your list when you have completed all the tasks on it, or you no longer have any use for it any more.
5. Where do you write this list, in a notebook, a diary in your head, on your co-worker's post it notes. (Steal your co-workers post-it notes when you can't gain access to the stationery cupboard)
Post-it office |
Make a list of all the uses for post-it notes |
7. Do you enjoy getting distracted? (Are you a total fantasist?)
8. Do you actually love to hate making lists because it makes you think about all the things all the things you never do? Do you make this kind of list because you want to punish yourself and organise all your disorganised thoughts?
9. To do... Work out how lists function theatrically. You do not have a hi-tech mini camcorder attached to a pen and projector screen, you have ten beige raincoats, think about the list the designer made when designing the set.
