Everyone that knows me knows that I’m the most unorganized list maker the planet has ever seen. I need lists. I crave them. If I don’t make a list I will forget! I may still be young, but my memory doesn’t care how old I am because it doesn’t want to remember. A lot of ladies carry day planners in their purse, that really doesn’t work for me. I don’t really have a lot of appointments outside of the house, heck sometimes I barely even leave the house.

These two things have become my organization tools!

My binder with loose leaf paper and dividers has notes and information on all my websites I’m working on. Articles and rough drafts that I’ve written while I’m offline. (Yes, I go offline, can you believe it?) Then second is this handy little Cross It Off Lists book that I’ve been using for a few months now.

What’s a Cross It Off? Well, it’s a book for list makes like myself. Like it says on the cover - your to do’s buttoned up.

There are two sections. The first section in the front is for making your own to-do lists. Basic lined to-do list paper, with perforated edges so you can tear it out when you’re done or to take with you. I just toss the whole book in my bag and take it with me and tear the pages out when I’m finished with the list.

And then the second section is for delegation lists. Lists you make and hand out either to your significant other, childlings, employees, assistant, whoever you are delegating to on that day. What’s really cool about these is that you get to keep a carbon copy. That way if you’re like me and forget what you’ve already delegated you have a backup memory! (Wow, backup for offline line… how cool is that?)

There you have it, the Cross It Off Lists. No, you cannot have mine. Get your own. While you’re there Buttoned Up also makes other cool list making organization products, so check those out too. I know I’ll be grabbing some more of their stuff the next time I’m at Target.
