I recently read some interesting facts and thought I'd share them with you!

Most people in a recent study (83%) still prefer the tactile experience of writing their lists with pen and paper. The visual pleasure of crossing things off cannot be underestimated. And people often feel more accountable when a list is in their own handwriting.

50% of those asked, admitted to writing down tasks they have already done, then triumphantly crossing them off. That way, they have a more complete picture of everything they've done, plus another opportunity to cross something off.  It's sort of insane how much we love crossing things off, isn't it?

More people cross off tasks (66%) than check off (21%).   4% write an "x", and 5% do nothing at all (let it be).

96% say their lives are better with to do lists. 89% say they enjoy making lists. 28% identify themselves as obsessive list makers.

I'm definitely a list maker (Donna), and admit to regularly writing things down that I've already done in order to triumphantly cross them off my list :)
