I love making lists and I love setting goals and working towards them. This seems perfect for me. I organized my list into school subjects because... well.... I'm a teacher. There were some tasks that didn't fit into a school subject category so I made up other categories for them. You will find that some tasks could have been broken up into 2 or I could have combined 2 tasks into one. There's no rhyme or reason for the way I made my list. It's just the way that was the best fit for me. Also some tasks belong in more than one category. I just picked one that made the most sense to me.
