to-do lists...

are admittedly a mild obsession of mine.  I'm always itemizing, despite my better efforts to 'relax' and 'embrace the unpredictable'.  I like being organized, or at least the gratification that comes with crossing things off a long scroll of to-do's.    

I love the concept of Liza Kirwin's "Lists: To-Dos, Illustrated Inventories, Collected Thoughts, and Other Artists Enumerations"  When I discovered that my type-A tendencies were shared by the likes of Janice Lowry, and Picasso... I felt a little bit better.  These examples are from: The Saarinen Papers, Janice Lowry, and Picasso respectively, and respectfully.
