STYLE Savvy: Lists and Styles

As an I need to see it person, I have a love-hate relationship with lists. I love dumping "to-dos" out of my head and onto paper,  where I can see them -- to a point. But, if the list gets too long, I start to get overwhelmed. The details overwhelm the big picture, and I start to lose sight of the forest because there are too many trees.

My list-making behavior reflects both my I need to see it personal style and my global personality. Overwhelmed by details (global personality), I need to re-construct my lists in ways that are less visually overwhelming (I need to see it) in order for them to be a useful tool.

How about you? Does your list-making reflect your styles?

• If your personal style is I need to see it, do you subdivide and color-code for visual efficiency?
• If you're a cram and jammer, do you cram as much as possible onto one page?
• If you're a drop and run organizer, do you make your list, set it down and forget about it, only to return to it later?
• If you have an I love stuff personal style, do you need to find just the right paper before you can write anything down?
• If you're an I know I put it somewhere organizer, do your lists go missing because you put them in a "safe place"?
• If you have an I love to be busy personal style, are you as efficient with your lists as you are with your time?
