I had been working for hours and was feeling a bit overwhelmed with the magnitude of the tasks at hand and the timeline ahead, so i employed an old familiar coping mechanism and made a list!I make lists to remember groceries and to make sure "jobs" are not lost in the business of living. Often, just making a list seems to make the tasks ahead manageable! Crossing items off lists give me a feeling of accomplishment.
This week's list includes 2 grad classes, one full day PD, 3 online classes, and Income Taxes. Looking at my list in print makes it seem doable specially when I realized that I had all of it partially done!
I sighed as I finished the list wishing only that ALL the stresses and hardships in life could be made manageable with lists!

I love making lists. Helps to keep me on task.
I love lists too. I take everything that has been rambling in my head, put it on paper, and 5hen free up thinking space.
Lists are manageable. Crossing things off is so satisfying.
I live off of my lists! Sometimes I think my list has a list! Glad it helped you :)
Lists... I used to make them when I taught full time... and before we had cell phones... now everything I think and need... right there and on all by mobile equipment...
But that list of yours... wow it's massive
I make a lot of lists too. I find that the act of writing lists helps me remember tasks better too.
Good luck getting what you need to get accomplished!
