I used to have a list but after I evenly distributed the contents of the beer locker instead of storing it on the port side it went away.
Easy, really, I must do the same on the boat one day.

10 things about people who list

1. They’re so organized
2. They have clear priorities
3. They think everybody else is disorganized
4. They’re right
5. They become obsessed with their list.
6. Items on their list become lists themselves

ie. Meet Ann
Book Table
Buy Flowers
Understand Cant

7. The spontaneity goes out of their lives
8. They have neat handwriting
9. If they loose their list they are lost.
10.They make a list of where they might have lost it.

My list is about 3 degrees to starboard.

Hasn't every boat owner got a list at least 2 pages long of jobs that need doing?

Just looked at my list of things to do today, which included checking the forum!! Seriously though, I cannot survive without lists. I have one for arriving at the boat, one for leaving to go to sea, and one for leaving the boat, all drawn up like a pilots checklist. Not long ago, I didn't bother with the "leaving to sea" one, and forgot to turn on the engine seacock, resulting in it running dry for a minute or so before I realised there was no "splish splosh" from the exhaust.

When I go shopping, for Xmas presents for example, I must have a list. I start at one end of the shopping centre and methodically tick off the purchases, arriving at the other end with all the items checked. Don't know why I feel the need to have lists, maybe it's from my rallying days when as car "manager" there was a lot of things to remember, with often dire circumstances waiting if something was missed.

Either that, or I'm just getting old, or indeed I'm a complete "buttarse"!!
