To-Do List: From Buying Milk to Finding a Soul Mate, What Our Lists Reveal About Us
We are a nation of list-makers, from grocery lists, New Year’s resolutions, and bucket list things to do before we die.
In To-Do List, I celebrate the humble to-do list, exploring the ways these scribbled agendas reflect our personalities and passions. The book is a collection of essays and the actual handwritten lists–personality on display in the handwriting!
To-Do List is also a celebration of human quirkyness. An intimate look at our lists and the stories behind them using our to-do lists as a window to our soul.
The handwritten lists you will find in To-Do List tell stories of sexual compulsion, dreams gone awry, a father’s passing, and a woman’s search for wholeness
To-Do List is both a celebration of lists and a peek at the lists that others create. Broken down by subjects like “Daily Lists” to “Sex Lists,” it’s a fascinating collection of lists from everyday people to the well-known.
With each list, I offer the story behind it and a prompt for readers to compare notes and take their own stab at a similar list. In each list we can find something of ourselves.
If you are a glazomaniac (an avid listmaker) buy this book for yourself. If you have an avid listmaker in your life, this book makes the perfect gift.
To-Do List will show you just how much — and what — your lists reveal about you and inspire your lists for years to come.
