Lists Detrimental to Health?

BREAKING NEWS!!!
Recent studies show that using lists to prioritize may be killing you on a daily basis!!!

...
No, but in all seriousness; the process of forming a long to do list may be causing you more stress than needed and may be why you don't accomplish as much as you'd like.

I'm sure none of us can detest that at some point we have relied solely on lists to remember what exactly we need to get done. I can't deny it myself. But has it ever occurred to you just how overwhelming that long list is? Sure when you first go through it in your head you are all calm about it and have everything planned out but what about when you're describing the list to others or others make your list for you?
...
The Boldelair children in series of unfortunate events for instance were greeted by a never ending list of chores to do around their "home" by their "uncle". Unlike them however you wouldn't be able to accomplish such a feat in a single day. Rather you'd probably be like Cinderella on her first official day as princess. You'd take one look at the list in disgust and immediately try to accomplish things your own methodical way.
...
Could it be simpler to just run off a train of thought? Or maybe if you categorized the tasks so it didn't seem so antagonizing. Either way I can tell you first hand that piecing together a list of every individual petty job that must get done until you have a list of even a dozen things, your brain starts to overheat and you slow down getting tasks done. Haven't you noticed that the days you don't have anything that needs to be done you are exceptionally motivated to get anything and everything accomplished? Use those days to get ahead of the game. Never just sit there watching TV or contemplating life.

Always try to remain proactive and think positively of everything that surrounds you. Have a blessed evening Nightlings and we'll see you tomorrow for another mediocre rant about the random small things in life that can distract you.
