Most Wanted Lists

The deadline for sending lists for inclusion in the book is approaching: September 15. In that last-minute spirit, I wanted to let you know that there are a few holes I am hoping to plug. I am especially looking for New Year's Resolutions, life plans (lists where you're trying to figure out what to do with your life), and romantic-love-related lists written by men. I have heaps of love lists written by women and am trying to answer the question, do men write these lists at all? I think they do, I just have only gotten a few so far. I'm not asking for any lists manufactured for publication. I want the real thing. But I figure I'm more likely to get what I want if I ask for it.

Thanks to everyone who has been bombarding me with amazing lists! The book is going to be spectacular thanks to you.

Take the To-Do List Survey!

I'm taking a survey on people's to-do list habits, quirks, and compulsions, on everything from whether you check off or cross off accomplished items to whether you make New Year's Resolutions. I would like to invite you to participate. Click here to begin!

The results will be published in the To-Do List book, which will be in bookstores October 2007. Your answers will be anonymous, unless you indicate that you want to be available for a future interview. The deadline for completing the survey is August 31, 2006.

Pet Peeves

To-Do List Blog a Yahoo Pick

Thanks to everyone who has sent in lists in the last few days, after the To-Do List blog was chosen as a Yahoo pick of the day. The lists are never-ending and they're coming from everyone political persuasion and part of the globe. Check it out here. Oh, and I'm not worried about getting fake lists just because I'm asking specifically for various kinds. After collecting lists for seven years, I have a very highly attuned eye for list-authenticity!
