There are two major lists that have ruled my life…
The first were “to do” lists. My mom used to leave these on the counter every day during the summer to encourage us to do something around the house while she was gone to work. I never understood why she did this until I had a house of my own. Turns out, it’s really hard to keep a house clean, and even though she would leave the kitchen or family room in decent condition when she left in the morning, it must have been super-disheartening to return to it each night in a complete disarray.
