Thought for the day - my new list app

i am very much a list kind of person.  i love making lists.  Don't know why...it's just a fact of my life.  i have been searching for an list app for awhile.  i have tried several of them out but had not found one that i felt was useful and easy to manage.  While we were at the beach a few weeks ago, Michael's brother Stephen told us about the Google Keep app.  It lets you make lists of all kinds and you can also share them with other Google users.  He was using it that night to go to the grocery store.  Well, after we got back from our mini vacation, i downloaded the app to try it out.  So far so good.  i am really enjoying it.  Of course, i only know the basics of it right now, but i can see definite potential as i learn more about it.

Of course, making lists has it's pros and cons.  One of pros is being able to cross things off of the list.  That gives me a great sense of accomplishment.  And, btw, list making is a great goal setting tool in my future career as a social work....score!  i just feel better when i see the list actually get shorter and shorter because i am getting off of my ass and getting things done.  And i try to make my lists with very specific tasks and not general things that i need to do every day around the house.

However, the flip side of that is when i don't get as many things done on the list.  Having the lack of accomplishment staring me in the face can make me feel depressed or useless.  i feel as if i have wasted my day and not gotten the things done that i want to.  Usually, that's because i have wasted my day....oh well.  It usually takes me at least 24 hours to shake that feeling off and then i go back to my lists.

Still, all in all, i enjoy my lists more than i don't so i will keep doing them until the day i die.  The Google Keep is really working for me so far.  Normally, i am one of those old fashioned people who have to actually write everything down.  But, i figured i might as well start to embrace technology.  At least some of it.  And, at least this way i am saving a tree LOL

Cheers
