Mission Statement

A list of things I like about list making

- I like list making.

- List making is productive and fun.

- Poetry is similar to making lists, the words carefully ordered and dedicated to accomplishing something worthwhile, however mundane.

- Accomplishing all the tasks on my list.

- Sometimes, I’m the only person who reads my list before it gets thrown in the trash.

-Thinking about lists makes me want to laugh.

- Things seem easier with lists, easier or not, I don’t know for sure. Maybe I’ll make a list.

- Lists create a schedule, routine, and routines are comforting.



A list of things I don’t like about list making

- Sometimes I don’t want to deal with lists.

- My boss gives me lists of things I need to do.

- Lists remind me of things that conflict with other things, like flying away when I’d rather not.

- Not living up to the lists I make, and throwing away goals.

- A list about lists is nothing original. It’s possible that everyone who makes lists may have made a list that was exactly the same as someone else’s list in the past, present, or future. This possibility is frightening and beautiful at the same time, which is like meeting God, whom I do not believe in. Hence, I do not like the dilemma that lists present.

- Thinking about lists makes me want to cry.

- Where did the time go, writing this list? I could’ve done some of the things on this list!

- Lists create a schedule, routine, and routines lead to monotony and a slow degradation of the soul.
