Secret Listers

Secret Listers

According to the dictionary the word “listless” means.... lacking energy or disinclined to exert effort; lethargic:

Personally I define “listless” as a person without a list! If you are listless in my definition you certainly are not lethargic...frantic perhaps… but not lethargic!
I wonder if there really are people out there who don’t use a list. I can’t imagine that there are. Personally, I think if they exist they are either extremely unorganized or "Secret Listers”. They surely cannot simply remember everything!

Some times people don't like to admit they are listers, I’m not sure why but they seem to pride themselves in the fact that they can remember everything, I don’t really think they can. My friend Reggie told me she doesn’t use a list, however when she put her coat on to leave my house one day, her Christmas list fell out of her pocket…she is definitely a Secret Lister! Reggie insists she only uses lists on special occasions!

There are some people who are listers but don’t even know it. Ever use a phone book, a Rolodex or a dictionary? These are all lists. Today computers are fairly common and really function by using lists. Just think about some of the following sites:
· Ebay.com – list of items for auction
· Amazon.com- list of books to buy
· AskJeeves.com- lists answers to your questions
· Travelocity.com- airlines, hotels, and rental car companies list their products
· Monster.com- lists of jobs available
Computers could basically be called Listing Machines. I think there are more Listers out there than non-listers.
