Take dictation please. Possible candidates for kite flying society.   -   Max Fischer, Rushmore.

A pair named Lisa and Adam created The Listography Project. Listography was launched publicly in April 2006. The first Listography book was released in Fall 2007 by Chronicle Books.

Listography provides users (listographers) of all ages an easy-to-use tool for creative list writing and sharing. Through list making, you can simultaneously create timelines and shape an autobiography. Therefore, your listography is a perpetual work in progress, a time capsule you can share, and perhaps a map of your life for friends and family. The book version of Listography contains fun illustrations and guided list prompts.

Listing is a precise and quick way to write and communicate meaningful information. When you need to lookup your favorite breakfast places to share with a friend, or revisit your most memorable experiences from high school, or you want to email the best Paul Simon songs to a group, your listography can be a helpful reference tool and catalogue.

We see listographies as a valuable interaction between old you and new you as well. Your listography is a record of what you want to remember --your very own database of lists. What we slowly forget, our listographies will keep organized for us.

We hope listographies also serve as inspiration. Writing lists about your goals, to do's, dreams, and wishlists, we figure is the first step to making them happen someday, a reminder and encouragement.

We made Listography to inspire reflection, creativity, connection, and autobiography. We hope you enjoy the website and the book, and we'll see you when you think of your next list (they say memory recall will ward off Alzheimer's).

Please bear with us through bugs and growing pains and keep an eye out for new features on our blog!

Thank you. -- L and A
