I Have this.... Thing

I have a thing for lists

I am a list maker. I thrive on writing things down. I am bombarded with things that I need to do or to remember. Writing a list helps me remember what has to be done. I take pride and joy at completing the tasks. I feel accomplished when I physically mark items off the list. It's almost a thrill seeing my pages scribbled like this. And a bunch of scribbled paper wrinkles ever-so-satisfyingly in a spiral. 

Technology is helpful in that I can have a small, legible list in my hand/pocket/purse. It's also helpful to have the gentle reminder of a chirp or a buzz on my phone. I just don't feel the sense of excitement of tapping a check box that I do with scratching items off on a pen/paper list.

The only complaint I have is that it hurts to write. I don't know what happened but my index finger on my dominant/writing hand hurts. It feels as though it is in constant need of popping.
