Welcome to my new site, For the Love of Lists, and thank you for visiting.  I’m looking forward to writing about a variety of topics, all of which can be found in the category menu above.  If you’re a fan of lists as much as I am (and the Internet is full of them, so you probably are), then read on!

5 Facts You Should Know About Me:

1. I love to write lists and collect information: to brainstorm, to find a next step, or even just to kill time.
2. I am an aerospace engineer: by nature I am a space & STEM advocate, I love to solve problems and improve efficiency, and I strive for continuous learning.
3. I love to read: I have a library of more than 1,500 books at my disposal, and if given the time I’d try to read every one of them.
4. I work to keep myself inspired: quotes, pictures, role models, challenges, and anything to remind me of my goals in life.
5. I am still figuring things out: as a recent college graduate and a new wife, I am at the start of my adult life.  What you see here is me learning as I go.

So why lists?  For me, lists are how I’ve always processed information.  Rather than telling you about all of the scientific reasons you’re designed to love lists, I suggest you check out these two articles that explain it wonderfully:

1. A List of Reasons Why Our Brains Love Lists (The New Yorker)
2. 10 Reasons Why We Love Making Lists (NPR)

Once again, thank you for visiting.  I hope to post at least once a week (more when time allows).  Subscribe to the email list to stay up to date on any new additions.  Happy listing!
