1. Convenience.
It makes skimming for relevant information much more
convenient. I mean, who has time to read entire paragraphs for the single point
of interest? Not me.
2. Pretty.
My eyes just
prefer the look of things ordered.
3. Plays
to my skills.
I don’t want to totally claim and embrace the fact I lean
toward lazy, but bulleted items help me grasp one or two main points that I can
put energy toward improving without bogging my brain down in the overwhelming
information inside each paragraph. Even this paragraph I’m writing at the very
moment is getting a little overwhelming for me.
4. Time
saver.
Along the same lines as convenience. I don’t have time to
sift through irreleivant information. My kids are hovering at my side, telling
me to look at them (balancing shoes on their ears—it’s a little impressive). My
phone is dinging that I have some sort of notification, the school just called
that one of my kids has an overdue library book, and I have to fill out claim
forms, work forms, and time cards. So, yes I’m ever so grateful for the blogger
who takes the time to put their posts into a list that allows me to pick and
choose where to spend my time while browsing their ideas and suggestions.
5. Teaches
me organized thinking.
I am not the most organized individual. I have piles of
papers in every room of the house. Books I’m referencing stacked on all
surfaces, and stuff (I don’t even want to figure out what it is) shoved behind,
under, and inside every furniture item. Thank goodness that blog post shows me
how a non-cluttered idea should be.
…Now to find a bulleted blog post about de-cluttering my home
in five easy steps.
