Pickles by Brian Crane for June 04, 2013

Having a “senior moment” on purpose!

Don’t forget to cross off making a to do list.

She’;; probably forget where she put the list tomorrow.

Doesn’t everybody do that? You should see my shopping list.

I don’t make “to do” lists anymore. I find I accomplish more if I make a “done” list. It’s very satisfying to add something you’ve got done to the list each time. I’ve been known to push myself just so I can have another “done” thing!

I still make shopping lists…and almost always manage to leave them home when I go out. Anything really important gets written on a Post-It note and stuck where I will have to move it (and therefore see it).

I can relate to this !

the satisfaction of being able to cross something off the list is what it is all about.

orinoco womble, I like your idea of doing a “Done” list. I’ll have to try it. Looking at a To Do list does remind you what you have to do, but you can look around and see what those tasks are without doing a list.

I also thought I was the only one to do, that Ha HaI agree jean its nice to see the list go down.

Works for me! Love seeing that list with all the checked items. DONE!!!

Ha! Maybe I shouldn’t admit it, but I’ve done that, too. But then again perhaps that’s because I’m around Opal’s age.

I’ve done that. It makes you feel more productive. I wonder if it’s related to my OCD.

I had “write a comment on Pickles” on my to-do list but as usual I can’t find it so I guess it won’t get done.

@ALL

BTW: I was a compulsive “to do” lister for 30 years as a professional operations manager and was more than once called anally retentive. Guess I’m payin’ back. Or payin’ forward? Ah, confession is good for the soul…

I’ve got more than one list app on my phone. Use one for my shopping list, of course I still have to remember to mark an item as needed, and I still leave the store thinking there was something else I needed.

Opal mus have a itch on her list…

Olliebird, you should see all the lists on my iPhone.

totally get that

Aside from having a very entertaining theme, the coloring of each panel is fantastic! You just don’t see the real art of this strip in other comic strips.

Love it! I can relate…

Darn right.

This Toon is a ‘direct hit’. Stuffy psychologists can learn a lot from humor.

Opal makes perfect sense to me. :-)

Opal likes to write down her victories.Good girl.

I kept forgetting what I had to do.

So I wrote it down … And forgot where I wrote it.

My sister does this ALL of the time.

I feel you !
