One of the most common and simplest ways to organize your life is with lists. We are so used to them that few people think about how cool this invention of mankind is. In this article we will talk about what it is and what lists every reasonable person should keep.

If I were asked to describe what lists are and how important they are to achieving your goals, I would compare them to a ladder. All of our goals are peaks of varying heights and difficulty. You can climb up steep slopes, sliding on steep slopes and stumbling over unexpected obstacles. And you can safely climb the ladder-list, confidently moving from one step-task to another.

Lists allow us to divide complex cases into many small ones, track progress of promotion and evaluate the efforts being made. They do not let us forget what is needed and help to organize our day correctly. Lists are everywhere and can be useful in literally any area.

1. Creative ideas

Creativity is a spontaneous process, it is rather difficult to drive it into the framework of standards. Therefore, the creation of lists of valuable ideas, original finds, unusual thoughts will come to your aid at the moment when absolutely nothing original comes into your head, but you need to create.

2. Books to read

If after reading the next book you are tormented every time choosing the next, then it's time to start a special reading list. In it you will enter every book that your friends have advised you about, which you read about on our blog or just saw at your neighbor's in the subway. By the way, with the help of this list, you can quickly estimate the number of publications read and even recall the most useful thoughts from them.

3. Interesting events

The worst thing is when you decided to create a list of interesting places, impressions and situations that happened in your life, and suddenly realized that you have absolutely nothing to fill it with. An excellent reason to reconsider your attitude towards life and start purposefully filling it with interesting pages.

4. Lists of current tasks

Yes, it's boring and corny, but we couldn't miss this kind of lists. They will help you better cope with your daily routine, keep up with everything and never be late for anything. In addition, contemplation of a column of neatly crossed out tasks delivers simply unearthly pleasure at the end of a difficult day.

5. List of movies to watch

Everything is the same as about books. There are so many films released now that it is an unaffordable luxury to waste time on all sorts of nonsense. A well-thought-out movie list will keep you safe from random selection and will allow you to see exactly the movie that suits your interests.

6. Wishlist

Desire crisis is no joke. If at one fine moment you felt the universal boredom and realized that you do not want anything, then this is it. You need to love, cherish and cultivate your desires. And in order for them to grow better, you need to write them down in a special list, which should include at least.

7. Anti-list

Everyone is used to writing down the tasks that you have to complete on the to-do list. But in some situations, it will be much more useful to create a to-do list that should never be done. Drink. Take up cigarettes again. Stupid at the TV. To lie. I have lived a day without completing a single item from this black list, which means that you are moving in the right direction.

Completed

And here, as we promised, is a list of the best lists from our readers:
