Pen and paper at the ready

Anyone that knows me will know that I obsessively write lists. When discussing anything, no matter how small, it's not uncommon for me to suddenly burst out "I'll write a list!" and scurry off to find a pen and paper. Not so long ago I decided it was absolutely vital that i always keep a pen and paper on me, for those moments when i feel too many things mounting up, and a list needs to be written.
I've always been the same. When I was a kid I would write lists about absolutely EVERYTHING. One of my uncle's favourite things to tell people about is the fact that used to 'write lists about writing lists'. I'm not even sure I know how this works, but apparently I used to do it.
So, that said, it has been used as my coping method since I got to uni-and actually before I moved. Currently I can count about 3 different lists I have on the go, and am about to start writing another. To Do lists, reading lists, shopping lists- the list (ha) is endless!
Did I just write another list about lists?
I feel like I have my life in order when I write the lists. I don't necessarily have to cross a lot of them off in one day, but just having it in front of me gives me a guideline, a motivation. I can already tell that lists are going to be my saviour in uni.
