    They do work for me...when I remember to write one. I need to make a to-do list to write my to-do lists.

    I do make my lists and then I leave them on the kitchen table when I leave the house. I'll keep trying too!!

    Yes. They are part of a large network of mental crutches I use to augment my faltering short term memory.

    No, and no. No matter how much I put on my husband's to-do list it never gets done. ;)

    Wow, we really must have collective minds because I just finished making a to-do-list, something I haven't done for a while! And yes, they do work when I actually make one!

    When I make them, they work. I really need to put "making a to-do list" on my to-do list. I might get more things done.

    Yes. I find them very helpful, but they can't have more than a few items on them or I get distracted and it loses it's usefulness.

    I do and they do. For some reason I feel better when, at the end of the day, I have a long list of things all crossed out or ticked off...

    everyone knows how much i depend on the random lists that i make. even if i write things down and never look at them again, it seems like all the stress eliminates itself once it's down on a sheet of paper.

    Yes. I have a white board in my room to write down all the homework I get from each subject and then erase what I have completed. It really helps me get my mind organized and set my priorities. I also write them on my calendar which also helps too - it acts as a visual aid which helps even more because I think I'm a visual learner.

    I do. I make endless amounts of lists. They help me realise just how I cannot stick to anything, including lists. They do however help people more organised and focussed than myself

    Post-its are my best friend. I've got them everywhere. And if I write four things on the list and try to remember a fifth, I'll do only the four things written down.

    Yes and yes. If I didn't keep lists I would be seriously screwed. And, they are color coded home, personal, work, social, et cetera.

    I constantly make to-do lists. Now, I don't always do the things on the lists, but it makes me feel good to think that I am while I'm making my list.
