I love lists! I have done or still do most of your “Top 10 Lists to Have”. My newest list has been born out of necessity. I now keep a “Surfing and Searching” list of websites/blogs/information found while on the Internet. Because I don’t want to subscribe to every cool site that I find and I often can’t remember that site later, I started keeping a notebook for daily surfing and listing of websites.

I am sure that there is a way to automate this, but the techno-phobe in me encourages the use of pen and paper.

I also keep restaurants I want to try and ideas for holiday gifts.

@Carol – Sometimes best to keep it to pen and paper. There are plenty of ways to bookmark sites (I use delicious.com) but I just have hundreds now!

@Steph – Good ideas!

Use Tim Ferriss’ technique so you don’t completely miss the point about making lists.
Fold an A4 piece of paper in half until it’s just about 2/3″ square and write down the bare minimum.
It really works and you feel like you’ve got lots done!

@Nick – yep that’s a good tip!
