Many have made this observation, including my daughter the writer.
I am a writer too.
I write all the time.
Sometimes it's just lists. For instance, today's list:
make a list
design Distinguished Alumni presentation
design Richard Donahue Award presentation
design Joseph Haynie Award presentation
complete Production Awards
gather computer, light projector, speaker, etc.
get gorgeous
attend White Frosting
clean up
get home
plan trip to Chicago
That's not ALL that I have to do today, but those are the highlights that I mustn't forget.
And there is value in such lists. Much like a journal, it records what is happening in one's life. Looking back at ancient lists, it reminds me what my priorities were at that time. Sometimes, it gives me a sense of accomplishment when I see how much of that list is now done! Sometimes, it reminds me how priorities change when I see that there is little if anything on the list that I now care about or even remember.
However, there is other writing that needs my focused attention soon. Writing plays, articles and books needs a high priority place on the lists I make in future.
Because writers write.

1.) Wish I could have made the White Frosting Awards. Predictably, theatrical activities got in the way.
2.) I write lots and lots of lists, especially when I'm avoiding writing. List making can be therapeutic for me, but it can also be addictive.
I write lists as a defense against the erosion of my short term memory... and to record what I've done, what I should do, what I might do
Writers write!
Love you!
I also write syllabi... and workshop outlines...and even, occasionally, plays
this is appreciable.!!!!!!i like it.
