My life in lists

One of the reasons I'm incapable of keeping a long running, active journal is that I simply can't whittle down the important details of my days. When a special event would occur, I'd have so much trouble deciding what the MOST important details would be...i.e. the first date-his smell, the way he looked, or spoke, or the quirk that bothered me most. What detail would I want to remember three years later? Would I laugh at my younger self thinking that what was so important was really just a silly detail I could have gone without recollecting. I'd have this battle with myself nearly every time I sat down to write and I would always simply give up.

Yesterday, while perusing the bookstore, I ran across the listogrophy series and I wondered if I could record my life in lists.

This journal of sorts organizes different aspects of your life. Lists all about you.
This one says, "List the things you like to do on your day off."

There's even a "Love Listography" for you to keep track of your romantic life. I like this list, "List all the reasons why you wouldn't date yourself." First on the list- I'm too whiny.

If you're a big music buff, the "Music Listography" is for you.

There's even a Listography for Kids.
I often wonder if I'll forget the things I would want myself to remember. What if I get older and forget about how it felt to get my first promotion, if I forget how much I love Sundays with B, or how challenging it was to start up a little shop?
I wonder if these books would help me cut out the superfluous details and stick to the meat of the story? Or is life in the details? What do you think? Could you record your life in lists?
