They organise our thoughts, take them from abstract possiblities in our minds to lead&paper solid realities...It also makes it easier to see which possibies are realiy attainable and those which are encuraging daydreams, but no easy tick-off-by-tomorrow job. Whilst the thoughts are in the mind, it is easier to lose perspective than when we see things on paper. There is a satisfying 'grit' to that, a sense of being in control of what is going on, that is kind of empowering and that drives forward ideas into reality. i like that sense of accomplishment and wonder, when something as ephimeral as an idea con somehow be conjured into paper and that leads me to envision the next step, and the next and the next. That is a beautiful feeling. Lists make it easier to think about everything, it’s that simple act of puttng pen to paper.
