you are way ahead, you have identified the problems with the to-do lists, and can make strategies to deal with those, as you said, limit it. for example, perhaps rules:1. you can only write 5 things down and then need to stop.and 2. you cannot revise the list til one of the things is done.
thanks you for commenting

the key is that you have identified the problems with the lists, so you can make strategies to deal with those. as you said, limit. maybe make the rules -1. you can only write down five things and then make yourself stop, and 2. you are not allowed to to revise it til one of them is done?

Ah, planning…it can be friend or foe. Saturday I posted something on Facebook about having so many things to do that I didn’t know where to start. One (obviously non-ADD) friend suggested I make a to-do list. I explained that yes, taking a FEW minutes to make a list is a great idea…but if I don’t limit the amount of time I spend on making a list, I may spend two hours writing the list, prioritizing the items, rewriting the list (because now the items aren’t in the correct order, and we can’t have that!)…it can easily get out of hand. I did make sure I made a list before hitting WalMart…that place is dangerous otherwise!
