Woman’s World magazine ran an interesting article recently about how the type of to-do list you keep is related to your personality. See what yours says about you:

Digitized To-Do’s: You’re perseverance personified!
If you can’t live without your Blackberry or iPhone and keep it handy to track your task list, you’re likely logical and analytical. Keeping a digital to-do list is like making a “contract” with yourself to accomplish those tasks.

Color-Coded or Alphabetized Plans: You’re a visionary!
If your day planner uses colour-coding or alphabetization, this type of organization shows you’re a big picture thinker, constantly rearranging the puzzle pieces to get a better idea of what the future holds.

Doodle-Decorated Lists: You’re a focused artiste!
To-do lists decorated with doodles in the margin are a sign of a creative, artistic person. Contrary to popular belief, the focus required for doodling actually helps improve memory recall by 30%. Doodles on your agenda reveals an active mind, driven to succeed!

Scrap Paper or Post-Its: You’re an adaptable stress-junkie!
Lists kept on pieces of paper or post-it notes demonstrate that you’re able to respond to situations quickly and thrive on last-minute pressure. This style of task-keeping is typically done by an open-minded and adaptable spontaneous thinker.
