I have mine on paper, too. Easier access, also, if I had the "to do" list on my smartphone, I would be too tempted to watch every video that pops up. And there is something satisfying about crossing each task off, tearing a finished page off and putting it into recycle. 🎉
I am also a list maker and I’m guilty of adding things to the list that I have done that day just for the satisfaction of checking them off! I enjoy the longer-term projects, but I think I like the little fixes the most. So satisfying. Your home is lovely. Filling the gaps at the bottom of your baseboards makes a huge difference and looks so clean and tidy. ❤
Listeria is a batería found in yogurt, raw meat and poultry. It can caused diarrhea, confusions, and seizures. It’s important for you to have a list of things to do before you have any episodes? I guess that your immune system gets weaken by the listeria symptoms and it’s why making a to do list is important for you. I wish my parents have known about writing a to do list and tough to me when I was under their supervision. But, they form pattern of doing things in order . Thank God for them. And thank you Mrs. Benita for your good reminders.🙏
Another very enjoyable video! ❤ Love lists! I’m 67 and I remember making my lists at 14. It always helps me clarify my thoughts and get stuff done. My storage unit in our apartment building is almost the same size. You did a great job organizing yours!
Benita, I just love all your DIY handy fixings around the home, as a single female, I hate to rely on others or spend way too much money to get a professional for fixing something small. Hope to see more, thank you so much.
@@jessiemacleod6100 Good for you! I have tools too, love tools. Just need to educate myself on how to fix the things I don’t know how, and then work on it! We can do this! 💪
In the past five years, I’ve learned that I really enjoy doing home renovations. I’ve learned how to use many tools and solve different challenges. Never thought I would do it but last week I actually fixed our toilet.😅 hardest part was getting down on the floor and back up, 73 years young and still learning
Ah, you think like I do, although I find lists overwhelming. A trick I have used to remove paint from metal pieces is to have a cheap pot I can boil the pieces in. It doesn’t always work but does often enough to be useful. I love that you chose an old building and respect its value.
I am also a list maker, and get great satisfaction from crossing things off. I live in a small apartment with a very small storage space that doubles as my main (only) clothes closet. I love the minimalist esthetic of your space.
As I organised my kitchen plates and saucepan cupboards today downsizing from 15 plates and bowls etc to 4 and just to my instant pot, air fryer and casserole pot. I knew I had to thank you for your inspiration I am a single person and I had all these plates, bowls and saucepans mostly because they were given to me. My new organised cupboards are wonderful thank you 🙏 🎉
I love that even your storage space is neat and tidy. I really need this "neat and tidy" and "less clutter" idea in my life as I struggle with my belongings. At the same time as a teacher I keep numerous thing that might come in use any day now.... any day, or not at all but for some reason I keep them. I love your clean spaces, basic calming colours. Since I cannot keep my space in order I enjoy watching yours, thank you.
Dear Benita, thank you for this video. When I'm feeling overwhelmed, I remember your videos and your way of handling things, and that gives me inspiration AND motivation. Thank you, and please take care!))
I too am a list maker. I love the satisfaction I receive when getting things done. I feel if I keep it my head It boogles my mind. . A check means its been done to my satisfaction. Great Video Benita!
Funny I was watching a few of your videos as I have a day off and the first thing I did this morning was : a to-do list !!! So satisfying to get things done and be able to write it somewhere. At the end of the day you can see what you actually did and that feels good !
I always have a list or two. Not just to do and shopping. I keep a list of the books that I have read. I keep a list of my expenditure and the food I eat plus a few others. I feel that my life is ordered and not out of control. Long live and prosper to all list makers.
Thanks for sharing. Already a fan... but still enjoy putting pen to paper. Several years ago I started a notebook specifically for my lists. Looking back over what I have already accomplished always encourages me to begin the next 'to do.'
I love that notion of adding fun things to your to do list. I am so used only adding things that I have to get done or that must be done or things that I have to take or do etc... I will make sure I am adding fun things to my list from now. Thank you for sharing. I love what you have done to the place! It looks great.
It’s so extremely satisfying to check things off a to-do list! I used to use the Notes app too but I’ve been using the Things 3 app for a few years now and it’s the absolute best to-do app I’ve ever come across - I love the simple, clean, and minimal aesthetic and you can move to-do’s around to different days, keep track of recurring to-do’s, organize to-do’s by area + projects (Ex: You can make an area for each room of the house and then have different projects that you want to get done in each room along with the to-do’s for that project), label to-do’s that you can do “Anytime” or get to “Someday”, and then you can reflect on everything in the “Logbook”. There’s more you can do but these are some of my favorite features 😇
@@BenitaLarsson Oh wow thanks so much for the reply Benita!! Yes I immediately thought of recommending it to you since I know you would love it plus it’s perfect for Apple users since it syncs instantly between iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch - I only had to pay one fee per platform but then that’s it which is way better than subscription model to-do apps that require recurring monthly/yearly payments that I’ve tried so def check it out! ☺️
Hi Benita, i have so much enjoyed watching you tick off things on your To Do List. I have never been a list maker but since leaving work i feel I need some sort of discipline back into my life - your video is so timely👏so a list it is!!! A serious light bulb moment 💡The number of things that are now(since watching you and your list) on my phone are unreal - it'll take me years - yikes!😂. My husband is an avid list maker for his Work. Every Sunday the Diary is out and his week is mapped out - I previously suggested using his phone but that was a no no!. "It must be a book in hand"😂. I don't think l will ever change that . Have a great week🙋♀
A food shopping list is always a must for me. Otherwise it's so easy to run amuck! Household issues are another list. Right on my refrigerator. Yep, still there. Nothing checked off but I do read it! An expenditure list is next for me, or at least savings receipts. It keeps me in check financially and gives me a good idea of where my money goes. Good video!
Very satisfying to see you got a to-do list too. To-do lists are my savior. I have made them since I learned to write. I've got garden to-do lists, work to-do lists, school, family, animal, etc. Especially my house has a to-do list, curse of an old house, finish one, see another part crash. Some are going to take years, and that is no problem. Reading all comments, it seems we are not alone, Benita 😉
I, too, have always been a list maker. My co-worker suggested I might have a problem when she referred to my stack of post- it notes as my "quarter-pounder". I thoroughly enjoyed your last apartment and location. Benita, I can see the changes to your new home in a short time and the always helpful DYI tips.. Interesting info, too, about settling your mother's estate and property laws in Sweden. Thank you for each lovely video and all the best to you and those you love.
I’m also a believer of the to do list. I go one step more - create several lists: one for short-term projects, one for long-term projects and one for potential projects - ideas that may turn into projects or be dismissed. I prefer hand written lists, specially for long-term projects, because I can make notes as I go, if there is something I need to change, add or remember when continuing. As always I immensely enjoy your video!
Sometimes making the list just feels like an extra task that’s keeping me from actually doing the thing, but I totally co-sign listing the things you’ve accomplished, especially if they’ve been bugging you for a while - even by noting them on a calendar after you’ve done it. Satisfying to flip through at the end of the year and go, "Oh wow, look at everything I did and took care of."
I'm a list maker too , there's always so many things to remember . I buy cute notebooks from the Dollarstore but I'm going to look at the notes app . I do put appointments in my phone's calendar right away . Your peg rail looks much better with the dark grain at the bottom . It's the little details . Your Home Owners Association is lucky to have you ! I love your videos so much , thanks for sharing . 💕🙏🇨🇦
Non-list people don't understand List-people, I swear. We add something do the list even when/if it's done, just to complete it. He-he... hysterical!! xx..
Slow but steady wins the race. Taking time to investigate which methods, materials & the visual impact of the end results shows how much you respect the age & original appeal of your abode. That extra care is definitely the reason I enjoy your home DIYs after years of following. I still use your vinegar-in-bag trick for my tap & shower heads. Lists are my life saver! I'd be running around like a headless chicken otherwise, lol. I've been dreading getting back into healthier drinks, especially the "green" taste. But I need to, and hearing you say "it doesn't taste green" piqued my interest.
There is something special to me about writing my list on pen and paper. Even though I have them written down digitally I will still rewrite them physically by hand.
Benita, so many satisfying chores done. I loved to see you filling and painting the floor gap where Bonus gets fed and the broom hangers it looks so much tidier. Thanks for sharing all of these. Cheers
I love lists! I have always used lists, some written and some in my phone. This keeps me organized and have peace of mind. Love your storage room reorganization, looks great and easy to find items now!
I wanted to say thank you. I love your videos and though our homes are very different, your meticulous approach helps me look at my renovations from another angle which is all to the good. Every now and again you have the perfect solution for me, ( for example I now have your dish cloth rail in my sink - which my partner unexpectedly loves ) and today the perfect idea to stop doors and windows blowing open, I didn't know such things existed, hurrah!
Great video, I too am a list person, I like the completion of a chore and the satisfaction of a check mark. A list is helpful when shopping, especially for home improvement projects. You always pass on great tips, so thank you very much!
Hello Benita! 😄 I have been making lists since high school - I have that exact same feeling (very accomplished after crossing off my list). I do still use pen and paper, I have a cute little notebook (that I refill) - I get excited thinking about my lists (sounds silly). This helps me very organized and productive - I do write down everything that I need to do in a day! I also have a monthly date organizer (a size that I fit into my bag - helps me keep all of my appointments organized) I like to write down what was discussed with my doctor, if I need to check back sometimes. I do add the 'fun stuff' on my list as well - thank you Benita, enjoy your week! ❤🌸💮🌸
I am a totally a TO DO LIST junkie, too🤣; I use both - paper/phone versions, and both work for me in the same manner as for you - encouragement, satisfaction, and friendly reminder😃. Thanks for sharing, Benita!
I moved into a new apt a week ago. Most of my boxes are unpacked except for some books and a ton of papers I really must go through. I am also a lifelong list maker. I still like to write things out on a notebook….I know I can use my phone or IPad, but writing things out helps me focus. There’s something so satisfying when I cross out completed tasks. 😊
Agree 💯 percent! I use "Remember The Milk". It's also great for those periodic tasks I would otherwise forget, like changing the furnace filters. I even add stuff like renewing my driver's license so that I don't forget.
Hi Benita 😃! Oh yes I’m a list girl !! I’m still using my pen and paper...... just love scoring them out when completed 🗒👌! Painting my closet is still on my list however the gardens ( only small ) but taking my time at the moment 🙈☺️! Happy days ! Another lovely watch ! Thanks Benita 💐🌸💐Love from the uk 🇬🇧
Yes! I too will add a task to my list - just to cross it off and admire what I've accomplished lol! I've tried a planner before...but NOPE! I'm a list maker! I do have a calendar for appointments and my simple meal plan (a dinner for every day!). But a full blown planner? Nope! I was introduced to making lists on my phone and that's a game changer! ( I still cannot give up my paper and pen 100% tho lol!)
Same sentiment! It gives a tangible feeling of physically crossing items off, rather than using phone, (for me, anyway). Seeing others accomplish their to-do lists is satisfying...I always enjoy your videos! Thank you for sharing😀
Haha I’m a list maker and I sometimes add things I’ve already done, too! At class reunion an old roommate teased me and asked if I still do this! You def are my SSM (Swedish Soul Mate!) 😘
I've been making lists my whole life and it's so satisfying to check off! 😊 When I divide the task into parts, I nest them under the title and check what I have done My 6 year old granddaughter also makes lists with drawings!!
I have been a to-do lister for years and yeah I use an app for notes on my phone too! So satisfying, makes me energized & uplifts my mood and mental/emotional well-being like anything! This video spoke to me!!!
I make my daily todo list on a small piece of paper and divide it into 3 parts: Dinner, Frog, and Tasks. This forces me to plan dinner and my most important task. Then I can "eat the frog" and move on to cross off the other tasks. I think I will keep an ongoing todo list on my phone so I don't forget other things I want to do. I like that you add fun stuff, as well. Thanks for the inspiration Benita ✅✅
I use the microsoft todo app. Workrelated stufg goes in my planner. I'm a teacher and while I keep appointments in my google calendar, my lessonplans go into a paper planner specially created for teachers. That way I can keep my work at work.
I love lists too and will sometimes make a Done list if I need extra motivation. May I ask about the curtain hardware? Where are the track and holders from? I’m looking for something similar. Thank you for all your videos - they are wonderful.
Lists are very useful🙌 Your apartment looks beautiful with your changes and ideas! Thank you Benita! I don’t find comfortable the station of food-water for Bonus under the ladder😻
Crazy ! But for most of my life I’ve been made to feel that I’m odd ? Crazy ? And that In someway I’m poorly?? I guess i feel an immense relief to know I’m actually super normal and have qualities of which are pretty awesome 🥳
To do list stresses me. It exacerbates my procrastination. It's useful to have a list of what has to be done in the future, but more so I don't forget stuff than look at it regularly or cross items off.😅
Great job in the storage area, looks much neater. I’m not sure why but I’ve never liked To Do lists. But now that I’m past 70 and forgetting things at light speed, I’m having to use them daily 😕.
I enjoy making lists as well. I like your yellow flowers. I have the same flowers from our garden, displayed in the dining area. We live in the state of Iowa in the US. How fun. Fantastic video.
Can’t live w/o lists!!! Often use phone for some lists but nothing beats real paper & pencil/pen. Sometimes I even use a fountain pen!!!! Such a sensual experience using hands & material!!!
I need to keep better track of my to do list, the problem is that I end up doing things for other family members and the list gets out of hand 😬. But in the last couple of days i got my husband to hang 6 art works. I had 4 of them framed and picked them up on Friday. Now I need to get a couple more done ✅👍😊. I also need to paint some of our walls, they are white and have been scuffed up a bit.
on your to do list you can go to settings / notes / sort checked items / automatically. if you do so, the list will sort itself. even more satisfying than just checking what was done :)
@@BenitaLarsson I mean, the done items will go to the bottom of the list, and the to do items will stay at the top. if you try it someday, let us know what you think about it :D
I love lists, if I didn't make a list, trust me I wouldn't remember half the things Ive to do in a day, week etc. I passed the list making bug on to my daughter too. Funny how I get great satisfaction ticking off all the things Ive accomplished. See you next time ❤
If you're looking for sources, I've tried to collect as many as I can here: www.benitalarsson.com/sources
I would be lost without lists! I still write them mostly by hand.
Me too, I'd be a wreck without!
I have mine on paper, too. Easier access, also, if I had the "to do" list on my smartphone, I would be too tempted to watch every video that pops up. And there is something satisfying about crossing each task off, tearing a finished page off and putting it into recycle. 🎉
I struggle to use a pen writing ✍🏽 now 😮.
I use notes app .
Even my signature has changed.
I am also a list maker and I’m guilty of adding things to the list that I have done that day just for the satisfaction of checking them off! I enjoy the longer-term projects, but I think I like the little fixes the most. So satisfying. Your home is lovely. Filling the gaps at the bottom of your baseboards makes a huge difference and looks so clean and tidy. ❤
Filling the gaps is so satisfying!🙌🏻
The gaps are generally left with wood floors to allow for the natural expansion and contraction of the wood as the humidity fluctuates.
I've suffered with 'listeria' my whole life! 🙂 I live by my central list and I love the sense of control it gives me. Thanks for sharing!
Listeria!!!🙌🏻😂
Listeria is a batería found in yogurt, raw meat and poultry. It can caused diarrhea, confusions, and seizures. It’s important for you to have a list of things to do before you have any episodes? I guess that your immune system gets weaken by the listeria symptoms and it’s why making a to do list is important for you. I wish my parents have known about writing a to do list and tough to me when I was under their supervision. But, they form pattern of doing things in order . Thank God for them. And thank you Mrs. Benita for your good reminders.🙏
The "To Dos" live rent free in our heads until they go on the list. I love mine too. Even making the list is satisfying!
Making them is very satisfying!😊

The gap fill between the skirting boards and floor was so satisfying to watch!

I also have a monthly date organizer (a size that I fit into my bag - helps me keep all of my appointments organized) I like to write down what was discussed with my doctor, if I need to check back sometimes. I do add the 'fun stuff' on my list as well - thank you Benita, enjoy your week! ❤🌸💮🌸
You are a ⭐️ list maker!
Good ideas, we have so many responsibilities and things to remember it is best to log it all👍
I am a list person so i bought a small pretty notebook to make lists. I enjoy crossing off each as i complete them.
Crossing off is just👌🏻
I am a totally a TO DO LIST junkie, too🤣; I use both - paper/phone versions, and both work for me in the same manner as for you - encouragement, satisfaction, and friendly reminder😃.
Thanks for sharing, Benita!
Thank you so much for watching!
I moved into a new apt a week ago. Most of my boxes are unpacked except for some books and a ton of papers I really must go through. I am also a lifelong list maker. I still like to write things out on a notebook….I know I can use my phone or IPad, but writing things out helps me focus. There’s something so satisfying when I cross out completed tasks. 😊
Congratulations on the move! Exciting times for you!
I do lists all the time!!!!hi dear Benita from Sicily,let me know if you are planning to visit Taormina,i'd love so much to meet you
List makers unite! And Grazie mille!
Agree 💯 percent! I use "Remember The Milk". It's also great for those periodic tasks I would otherwise forget, like changing the furnace filters. I even add stuff like renewing my driver's license so that I don't forget.
I have Renew passport but that’s in my Tasks with a date In February 😅
Hi Benita 😃! Oh yes I’m a list girl !! I’m still using my pen and paper...... just love scoring them out when completed 🗒👌! Painting my closet is still on my list however the gardens ( only small ) but taking my time at the moment 🙈☺️! Happy days ! Another lovely watch ! Thanks Benita 💐🌸💐Love from the uk 🇬🇧
That’s the idea I think, taking your time. As long as it’s written down you’ll get to it eventually!
I’ve really just discovered you Benita. I love your videos. Thank you.
So nice i feel I have a friend who lives in Stockholm !! Thanks Benita honestly I’ve never known anyone in my lifetime who thinks as I do 🤗💐
Oh wow!
Much better organisation of your storage space.
I can’t believe the level of cooperation you have between residents in private apartments.
Of course not everyone takes part or volunteers but I like to when I benefit from things being nicer 😊
@@BenitaLarsson It’s such a positive thing to do, to make a community. ❤️
Yes! I too will add a task to my list - just to cross it off and admire what I've accomplished lol!
I've tried a planner before...but NOPE! I'm a list maker! I do have a calendar for appointments and my simple meal plan (a dinner for every day!). But a full blown planner? Nope!
I was introduced to making lists on my phone and that's a game changer! ( I still cannot give up my paper and pen 100% tho lol!)
I still write my grocery list on paper so I totally understand!
Same sentiment! It gives a tangible feeling of physically crossing items off, rather than using phone, (for me, anyway). Seeing others accomplish their to-do lists is satisfying...I always enjoy your videos! Thank you for sharing😀
Isn't it the best?!
Haha I’m a list maker and I sometimes add things I’ve already done, too! At class reunion an old roommate teased me and asked if I still do this! You def are my SSM (Swedish Soul Mate!) 😘
Happy to be that!
12:47 an easy and quick way of removing white spots etc is to use blue toilet cleaner. it removes these stains easily and quickly.
pls make more videos with the remaining items on your to-do list.. so satisfying to watch! hello from Brazil 🇧🇷
Thanks for the suggestion!
I've been making lists my whole life and it's so satisfying to check off! 😊 When I divide the task into parts, I nest them under the title and check what I have done
My 6 year old granddaughter also makes lists with drawings!!
Lists with drawings is❤️
I have been a to-do lister for years and yeah I use an app for notes on my phone too! So satisfying, makes me energized & uplifts my mood and mental/emotional well-being like anything! This video spoke to me!!!
I totally agree!
I love a good list. I recently moved into a new place and it's astonishing how many things there are to do to get it all set up to suit.
The list after moving tends to be looooong😅
Well done girl 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
I make my daily todo list on a small piece of paper and divide it into 3 parts: Dinner, Frog, and Tasks. This forces me to plan dinner and my most important task. Then I can "eat the frog" and move on to cross off the other tasks. I think I will keep an ongoing todo list on my phone so I don't forget other things I want to do. I like that you add fun stuff, as well. Thanks for the inspiration Benita ✅✅
Love the 🐸!
What is "eat the frog?"
@@valorielynwhitman8531 the process of identifying your most difficult task of the day and completing it before you do any other work
I use the microsoft todo app. Workrelated stufg goes in my planner. I'm a teacher and while I keep appointments in my google calendar, my lessonplans go into a paper planner specially created for teachers. That way I can keep my work at work.
Makes total sense to use that for your work!
I love to do lists! Very satisfying video, thank you
Glad you enjoyed!
Your new home is looking really nice. Hope you are happy there Benita, and keeping well.
I am, thank you!😊
Great motivational! Thanks! My new house is waiting
How exciting with a new house!
Thanks for another inspiring video, Benita! I'm a list maker, too, and love that endorphin boost from every check mark!
I love lists too and will sometimes make a Done list if I need extra motivation. May I ask about the curtain hardware? Where are the track and holders from? I’m looking for something similar. Thank you for all your videos - they are wonderful.
They’re from Hasta!
I love list too. Can’t wait to see where you & your son buy your summer house & house you decorate. I love your style. Similar to mine
It’s been a fun Sunday outing so far. Fingers crossed for this weekend!
Love your chanel so much ❤thank you 😊.
So nice of you, thank you!
Ooooww tell us about your emergency prepping please Benita x
It’s just a basic box with supplies. I’m sure there are videos out there with great info!
I love this video. Thank you, Benita!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lists are very useful🙌
Your apartment looks beautiful with your changes and ideas! Thank you Benita!
I don’t find comfortable the station of food-water for Bonus under the ladder😻
It’s totally safe so don’t worry.
I totally got inspired by this video! Great choice of music too for such an upbeat subject matter.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow Benita you are amazing with DIY!!!👏👏👏
Thank you so much 🤗
Crazy ! But for most of my life I’ve been made to feel that I’m odd ? Crazy ? And that In someway I’m poorly?? I guess i feel an immense relief to know I’m actually super normal and have qualities of which are pretty awesome 🥳
The reverse method is awesome too. On days when i didn’t make a list but was busy…
It really is!
Another great video 😊 Yes! List keeps me organised and I worry less.
To do list stresses me. It exacerbates my procrastination. It's useful to have a list of what has to be done in the future, but more so I don't forget stuff than look at it regularly or cross items off.😅
Great job in the storage area, looks much neater.
I’m not sure why but I’ve never liked To Do lists. But now that I’m past 70 and forgetting things at light speed, I’m having to use them daily 😕.
I’m pretty forgetful so I’m lost without my lists. Plus do do enjoy the ✔️😅
I enjoy making lists as well. I like your yellow flowers. I have the same flowers from our garden, displayed in the dining area. We live in the state of Iowa in the US. How fun. Fantastic video.
So happy you enjoyed it!
Thank you Benita! This was a great video. I need to make a list. 😮
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastisk video! Love the floor gap and the longer video. I want to go to Milesgården too - jealous!
Glad you enjoyed it! Millesgården is just👌🏻
Oglądam ponownie i dziękuję za inspirację ♥️
❤️a list!
Can’t live w/o lists!!! Often use phone for some lists but nothing beats real paper & pencil/pen. Sometimes I even use a fountain pen!!!! Such a sensual experience using hands & material!!!
I’m such a messy fountain pen user😅
@@BenitaLarssonI have several fountain pens but only one doesn’t leak! Hate ink messes!!!
I like how you place the watermelon upside down. I always put a plastic cover on it. Your method is better!
Saves on plastic!
I need to keep better track of my to do list, the problem is that I end up doing things for other family members and the list gets out of hand 😬. But in the last couple of days i got my husband to hang 6 art works. I had 4 of them framed and picked them up on Friday. Now I need to get a couple more done ✅👍😊. I also need to paint some of our walls, they are white and have been scuffed up a bit.
Sounds like you’re on a roll!
Turn that peg rail over….check.
That was such a little, but significant win!
Oh I agree about the peg rail, that would bother me with the dark at the top 😁
Right? It’s so much better now!😅
on your to do list you can go to settings / notes / sort checked items / automatically. if you do so, the list will sort itself. even more satisfying than just checking what was done :)
I don’t mind that they’re in my original order😅
@@BenitaLarsson I mean, the done items will go to the bottom of the list, and the to do items will stay at the top. if you try it someday, let us know what you think about it :D
Great video Benita, love watching your channel always get some really good ideas.
Glad you like them!
Loved this video. It is exactly what I need right now as I clean out my house and repair things in preparation of selling it next year. ❤
Ooh, that’s very exciting! Best of luck!🍀
I love lists, if I didn't make a list, trust me I wouldn't remember half the things Ive to do in a day, week etc. I passed the list making bug on to my daughter too. Funny how I get great satisfaction ticking off all the things Ive accomplished. See you next time ❤
Same, I’d be lost without my lists!
I love making a list and yes I do add to it when I've done something that wasn't on there originally. 😂
As you should 😅
