“I love lists. Always have. When I was 14, I wrote down every dirty word I knew on file cards and placed them in alphabetical order. I have a thing about collections, and a list is a collection with purpose.”
Wise words from Adam Savage of Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters. Lists are very important to how I work as well. I use them in OmnniFocus, on a slip of paper, on a white board during the discovery phase, just about everywhere.
My new favorite analogy, “The project may be the lion, but the list is your whip.”
