Joanna asked:

I was wondering if you have any theories on list making? Not shopping lists but the act of making a
to-do list and then never getting round to doing the things on the list. Do you agree that by writing
things down or talking about them you feel like they have been resolved? Do you have any idea why
this could be?

============

Take a look at "Mind Maps" by Tony Buzan http://www.imindmap.com for a list making theory.

Yes I do agree that sometimes writing things down or talking about them does sometimes resolve
them. Why this could be, seems to me tied up with the list-making idea, in that organising your
thoughts in these ways allows you to take action.
