“List Making is an Essential Human Activity” – and It’s Museum-worthy, Too!
Ever wondered whether or not list-making is for you? Well, The Morgan Library and Museum‘s current exhibit features lists – “lists of bills to pay, things undone, failings in oneself and others; lists of people to call, stuff to buy, errands to be accomplished” – from the most ordinary of business owners to the artistic and crazy Picasso.
According to the New York Times article covering the exhibit,
The more you study the Morgan exhibition, the more you realize that lists are everywhere, and that list making is an essential human activity — a way not just of keeping track but also of imposing order on what would otherwise be chaos. Your address book, a restaurant menu, the instructions on the MetroCard machine, prescription-drug ads spelling out possible side effects: they’re all lists.
List-making is for everyone. Inch by inch, we’ll help you track your progress to greatness. Who knows, maybe your iDoneThis calendar will be in a museum one day!
