Shopping lists are okay, even necessary, but work lists seem to be counter-productive in that it adds another task to whatever other tasks you may have. In other words, the list itself, and it's maintenance, become tasks--and unnecessary ones at that! Lists actually amke things MORE stressful, as they are a constant reminder of what, supposedly, needs to be accomplished. An instructor doesn't have all that many varying tasks, and those same tasks are repeated each and every term. How could one forget them? Why would one need a list to remember their duties? Does a policeman make lists, too? Should they? What would it look like? --Clean gun --Go to shooting range --Don't get shot Rather absurd, don't you think? When something important needs my attention, I write that item down and always get to it in a timely fashion. Working on one item at a time negates the need for list making. Now where did I put my shopping list?
