To some degree, my love of list-making is reminiscent of the fictional character Brian Stimpson, played masterfully by John Cleese in the film Clockwise. Stimpson is a headmaster who runs - some would say ruins - every aspect of his life to the minute. It transpires that this all-consuming habit came about because he was so bad at timekeeping in his youth, and now his pendulum has swung to the opposite extreme.
