Does anyone like making lists?

I love making them because I like to have information organised in a clean and easy to read format

I have been known to leave random lists around my work place to see how people react when they look at them. I have also kept a small laminated list with a few generic items in my wallet and when the rare event of someone saying they feel listless occurs, I pull the list out and hand it to them without a word. Sometimes I have been known to lead things a bit, like if someone merely mentions being tired or run-down, I'll ask it they feel listless. If they agree, then I produce the list.
But yes in general making lists to me is similar to making collections which is kind of like breathing.

The more things I need to do, the more it stresses me out when they're all floating in my head. A list allows me to relieve that stress, look at the list in black and white, and prioritize what needs to be done first.

I once made a list of all the McDonald's restaurants I'd eaten in, also of all the films I'd seen. The latter list these days would probably run to at least 3000 entries if I could remember them all.
