The power of lists (2)

Last time I wrote about the power of writing lists. Not long after that I found two lists in my shopping trolley whilst a Morrisons.

The first is show here:

Shopping list 1
A simple shopping list, looks healthy!

This list looks like its for a single meal, a stir fry with salad. Its strange how razors jumps into the person’s train of thought. And what caused the change of mind over whether to have garlic something or fish fingers instead!

Now list two is totally different:

Shopping list 2
A simple shopping list written for somebody else

Just look at the handwriting, very neat and tidy and written on lined paper, looks like a page from a school pad. This list is written to be read, very specific.

This person obviously likes their fruit and yogurt, but not so keen on exotic porridge oats! Peppers and tomatoes make an appearance again.

Then, at the bottom of the page we see why it was so well presented “Then get what you need”.

If somebody found your list, what would they read into it?
