I never used to do this, but I guess my latent type A personality is coming out in bits and pieces. I write these things out like some kind of incantation to ward off bad luck and evil spirits. You would think it would make me more productive, but I promptly lose them, forcing me to rewrite them over and over again.

How's that for magical thinking? For obsessive-compulsive personality disorder?

I never used to believe in lists. I figure if something is important enough, it'll just stay in your head. If you truly know something, understand it, you won't need to write it down.

So it's more for comfort's sake. Despite the fact that I lose my lists within 24 hours, it somehow eases the anxiety.

I'm clearly losing it.
