Inspired by and in honor of my daughter, Michelle, I want to share with you some delightful information about list-making, checklists, templates and worksheets--all available to download from Real Simple Magazine.
This time of year, when new ideas and goals seem to be so much a part of our thinking, this information couldn't be more apropos, not to mention downright delightful ,for those of us (including Michelle, at the top of the list !) who get a thrill at the end of the day by crossing off as many items as possible of said list. I'm thinking writing more concise, perfect sentences should probably be at the top of my first list!
Courtesy of Sneelock, here are several photographs from the pages of January 2009 Real Simple for your browsing and use. As I am looking over the "50 checklist and form" page, I'm wondering if Jessie (my youngest daughter ) will find some kind of list to do with her latest craze and interest, couponing! Check it out and let the rest of us know, Jess. With 50 possibilities, there must be something.

There are some great small list pads available, some with monograms, others with great collaged covers, darling colors, small, large, you name it! I found some really cute ones for several of my favorite people that just screamed their names. And what could be more stylish than one of these to carry about in your purse?!
One of my goals this year will be to feel better about the accomplishments and completions that I do cross of my daily list. I tend to berate myself for not getting all of my tasks crossed off. If I have a great,productive day, and complete 8 tasks on my to-do list, yet have 6 or 8 remaining, I feel that I have gotten nothing done!
I do love list-making and a darling pencil, good and sharp, is the perfect participant.
So, here's to list making. 2009, get the pads ready. Hope you find one that suits your needs, and I hope that you'll share any that you find particularly stylish and useful.
