考官
Do you make a list when you shop?
考生
I do in fact make a list whenever I shop, but that's mostly the case whenever I go out on an errand from home. Otherwise I just randomly pick whatever I like from the shelf.
考官
Do you make a list for your work? Does it work?
考生
It depends on my schedule. If the schedule requires me to do fixed work, I do make a list and then go through each point on the list categorically. Otherwise I just do what I feel like doing rather than following a list.
考官
Why don't some people like making lists?
考生
It may have to do with the fact that they are less disciplined. Making lists is a part of a disciplined life which a lot of people might not be living, and I do believe that a list might hamper creativity, which in the long run might not be the best option.

考生
