Where is my to-do list?

On the blogger dashboard page was a youtube clip of a woman who has compiled a book full of to-do lists. I didn't find it too interesting to be honest, but in my whole avoid-presentation-text-writing routine I clicked the link to view the clip (Note that I am still in the avoidance mode writing this). And I have to say it was interesting! When the clip ended I even decided to watch a related clip of an interview with the writer/compiler for NBC 11, where the interviewer was in all states of exitement because she "wrote one, like, every day!". A to-do list, that is, of course. She didn't strike me as the genial multitasker to be writing a book on the side. Maybe it's good to mention that the compiler/writer not only has the predictable grocery lists, but also some favourite-songs lists and some very telling goals-in-life lists. She even received a list from a woman who wrote down all the good and bad thing about her husband because she was contemplating a divorce. Those are fascinating. If not for the fact that the woman who wrote that last list actually gave it away to be published! Total nut job in my humble opinion.

It made me remember all the to-do lists (or really, just personal notes sometimes in list form) I wrote. From the mundane (groceries, supplies) to the corny (new year's resolutions (never kept them in case you want to know)) and the practical (best way to organise the day, Liverpool-A'dam flight prices) to the wishful (things to do in Australia) and the somewhat deeper (what I want in life). That last one is still on my computer somewhere and resembles diary entries at least. Maybe I'll post one for you once. I vaguely remember a ramble about Chartreux cats. Might be fun :).

But the one I mentioned about Australia (and Sydney in particular) has graced the bottom plank over my desk for the past year. I thought I would scan and send that list to her (the compiler's) website, because she still likes to receive them. So I reached out to grab it...but it wasn't there! Not that it's such a big deal. I usually remember what I want to do that day or whatever anyway (hence my complete lack of diary. You know, the one with the dates and times to organise the day, not the poor-my-heart-out-blank-paged one). I can write the Sydney stuff down again right now. No, what I'm more interested in is where it has gone to? I certainly haven't thrown it away... I doubt my brother finds it interesting enough to even second-glance it. My mum would have NO reason to get rid of it unless she plans to book me a trip to do all those things but let's be honest: there's no way! And our cleaning lady doesn't even spend enough time in my room to clean the floor properly let alone get near my desk area, so I don't see her throwing it away. So where is it? Mystery of the week (-end).

That's it for now. The list-lady's website is todolistblog.com, in case you're interested. She has the clips on there as well. On more thing, a word of caution I forgot in the first post:
