One day, while completely befuddled by the high number of lists I maintain, a friend of mine asked if I have a list of my lists. I laughed and said that I do not. So, here, for fun, I\u2019m going to correct that. But first, here\u2019s a list of things I\u2019m not including on the list: 1) Phone lists (even though I am the head of the department phone list at my job 2) Work-related items involving projects and\/or trade secrets (they\u2019re boring lists anyways) and 3) Temporary lists (such as: Things to buy at the grocery store).
I\u2019ve added a brief explanation for lists with non-obvious titles. Anytime I use the word \u201cwe\u201d it should be understood to mean \u201cJennifer and I\u201d.<\/p>\n

I actually have less lists now than when I was a kid, thanks in part to the internet. For example, I used to have a list of where the Olympics were held each olympiad, but that seems pointless now as I could just look it up. You may have noticed that some lists aren\u2019t very personal (such as \u201cSherlock Holmes stories\u201d), but the reason why I have such lists is to check them off as I watch\/read the items on the list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
