    Lists

    Got to stop writing them. Horrific things. Make me realise quite how much I have to do. So I thought I'd share them. And encourage you all to share yours. Then you too will have wasted time composing yet another list, and I won't feel as bad anymore.

    1) Put up shop decorations
    2) Change lighting arrangements
    3) Finish update to furniture website
    4) Start and finish update to kiddy stuff website
    5) Repopulate both websites
    6) Distribute 15000 fliers around West London
    7) Arrange pricing for sale period
    8) Arrange three deliveries
    9) Carry out three deliveries
    10) Sort out all financial paperwork for the last six months
    11) Speak to Ealing council about business rates
    12) Purchase fire extinguishers for retail premises
    13) Re-order toys
    14) Arrange for the Ealing Christmas Market paticipation
    15) Get off premises insurance
    16) Complete 3D rendering of custom furniture for clients
    17) Speak to legal advisor over credit agreement possibilities
    18) Revise for my Corporate Based Finance MBA exam in January
    19) Make sure we're covered over the Xmas period for staff while away
    20) Don't let tea go cold
    21) Put up wire display systems
    22) Order new Canvas Frames for instore promotion
    23) Complete order with Indonesian producers

    Okay, I give up, I've lost the will to live. I thought I was going to run out of things to do before I ran out of steam, but nope, not happening.

    Please someone tell me that they've got more to do than me?

    Re: Lists

    If I made a list, I would realise that I have so much to do, that I couldn't poss get done all at once, and so decide on that basis not to any of it.

    Re: Lists

    I started to make a list at work the other day, but then realised if I spent my time doing this stuff rather then writing it down it might actual get finished at one point.

    Re: Lists

    I have a list, but putting it on the internet seems to be the last thing on it for some reason. Ah well, I guess some things will just never get done...

    *Sigh*

    Re: Lists

    I need to make lists, I hate having loads of things to do so I just get them done asap. For example, I haven't done one bit of Christmas shopping yet. Joy.

    Nope, I work for myself. New business, not alot of spare cash. Plus, I reckon that by the time the company is pulling in enough cash for me to employ someone else to run it, I'll be a very desirable candidate for an executive position with some multi national company.

    A mental list:

    1) Pretend bananas are secret government agents intent on stealing all my tea spoons.
    2) Spend every third wednesday naked in the shed, wearing a hat made from coffee.
    3) Only watch BBC2 from behind the tv using a mirror, then complain to the BBC that everythings backwards.
    4) Fly to Japan, cough, fly back.
    5) Disturb an ants nest with a twig, start to count them, and when you get to 126, roll up your trousers and faint.

    Anyone got a list more mental than that?
