What's On Your List?
It seems that if you keep to one thing long enough, you can call yourself an expert. Don't believe me? Well I just came across this To-do-list-ologist. I was like, huh???
Quoting from the blog "TO-DO LIST has been a magazine and a blog. Now it's a book, To-Do List: From Buying Milk to Finding a Soulmate, What Our Lists Reveal About Us, a collection of 100 lists and the stories behind them."
The blog: http://www.todolistblog.com/. Go knock yourself out! The book will be launched today (10 Nov 8pm US time) in San Franciso and she's even been interviewed on NBC11. That's how real this is.
A random thought: To-do lists may not be the wisest form of recording things that you need to remind yourself to do. Cos if you are that busy or forgetful that you need a to-do list, wouldn't it be highly likely that you would lose the list cos you are too busy and forgot to look at it? Isn't it true that when you jot down all those things, you do it because you want to get them off your mind. And sometimes, that's what literally happens - you don't carry them on your mind anymore. So if you lose that list, that's it, buddy!
It's actually quite interesting, probably some may even find it bizarre, what people would get their hands into besides the normal 9 to 5 jobs, that is, if they have one, or can afford not to have one. It's probably even rarer to find a person who thinks normally in our context and resides in Singapore.
Perhaps if I piece some of my blog entries together, polish up the grammar and language, you think any publisher would be sound enough take it on? And I can finally earn myself a profession: Writer. Well, maybe more of a Babblish-ologist, or to sum it all up, Lameist (hmm... sounds like "Les Miserables" eh).
