In the next few weeks, I will be posting a list of important points for solo women travelers. I use lists a lot because they help me stay me focused and organized. They allow me to record tasks that I might forget later, especially when getting ready for a trip. I’m not so overwhelmed with big problems or projects when I break them down in little steps. Lists are great for bloggers and writers as a way of presenting important ideas in manageable doses. I would like to hear from you, my readers, about your list making. Not just for traveling but as a tool for getting through the journey of life. Do you make them at a certain time of the day? On whiteboards, notebooks, or Post-it Notes? Do you get a feeling of triumph like I do when I cross off a job or, better yet, throw the whole completed list away? “D.O.N.E!!” The happy battle cry of a busy woman.

years ago I was taught a memory system which I use in case I lose my written lists (which I’ve been known to do) the numbers 1-20 are each associated with a picture, the objects on my “list” are associated with those pictures…1=mouse running up the clock 2=pair of pants 3= 3 legged milking stool 4= table 5= 5 star newspaper 6=6 cylinder car and on up through 20. Then I picture an unusual picture connecting the two >>>> for example my grocery shopping list is done thus: 1.to remember a bottle of olive oil I picture a mouse running up a clock and sliding down because the clock has oil spilled on it. 2. to remember yogurt I picture a pair of pants with a tall container of yogurt in each pant leg 3. to remember bread I picture a stool with a loaf of bread for each of the legs. and so on ….I have a picture that represents each number up through 20 permanently established in my mind.. This system of lists has held up for about 50 years for me
