Making a List and Checking it a Million Times

I have made millions of lists. Any spare odd envelope has a list on the back. Old legal pads have tons of lists filling page after page. Sometimes when I find an old list I wonder what was I thinking? I'm not going to take that stuff. There is still a ton to do and the lists have mostly been thrown away. However, the other night I sent my sister a list of everything that has been packed into my suitcase that will be shipped to the docks. A few weeks ago I sent her a packing list that I found online somewhere. Do the lists help? I don't know. I feel better making them...so call me whacky.
