Title
Description
This artifact is a list written by Arianna Eidenberger where she compiles her tasks in a to do list format. The list is divided into two components; the first section focuses on a list of homework that should be done while the second section compiles miscellaneous tasks that should be completed.
The submitter provided the following about the artifact’s history: "This is my to do list for the week. I make one every week. It seems that I can’t get anything done if don’t make one. When the fall and spring semester comes around, I usually make one every day. The computer paper that the is artifact is made on is from the printer on my desk. The desk that I sat at every Sunday night and make my to do list for the week. I separate my to do list into two parts; work tasks and personal tasks. I started making daily to do lists in high school. In middle school, we had “assignment notebooks” where each class had a pre-made box and you would write your assignments in. They don’t give you one of those in high school. They give you ten times the homework but no place to write it down. Your success is all on you from there on out. So I make my to do lists frequently so I don’t forget anything important. I’m human and a forgetful one at that. Like today I had plans to study at the library with my friends, I completely forgot until one of them texted me they were leaving. I can’t depend on my memory unless it’s for something useless like Grey’s Anatomy trivia. So I make lists. I waste a lot of paper and even that’s not enough. I have to do lists in my phone, to do lists that are for dates in the future, to do lists that reference other to do lists, and so on. Also I don’t understand people that don’t make to do lists. How do they do it? What if you simply forget something?"
