I once read this post about a woman who would sit and make a list of her tasks for that day, she would get so engrossed in them that she would doing it for the littles things such as taking out the trash. Now that I know how to use some of them I only use them for two things. Planning how I am going to study for the next midterms, or how to make the rest of the homework for that week.

But I got to give it to that woman, she was right. It creates so much more order than you first anticipated, and I thank her for telling us that it is convienient to make lists every once in a while ;)
