Creating lists on Google Maps can provide so much value in so many ways. Whether you like to create broad lists with all of your favorites in one place or make several super specific ones, creating lists is a great way to keep yourself organized. Read on for some ideas for how to use lists to make life a bit easier.
Plan travel itineraries
Many people tend to research places on Google Maps, but do you plan out all of your stops on one list? This is a great way to figure out the order to visit each place based on distance. You can also keep track of what you did to easily remember when it comes time to review the new places you’ve experienced.
Organize your personal bucket list
Love daydreaming about all of the places you want to travel in life? Sometimes, it’s not always feasible to book trips in the near future, but it is possible to list out ideas for where you want to go later on. This can also serve as motivation to save up for certain trips by giving you something to look forward to.
Share travel recommendations with friends
When people come to visit an area where you live or where you’ve traveled before, chances are, they’re going to ask for your recommendations on where to eat and what to do. Instead of taking the time to write out your favorite places every time, you can have a curated list ready to send them without having to lift a finger.
Make dining decisions easier
From special occasions to everyday dining, it’s sometimes a struggle to figure out where you want to each. You can create a date night dining list to share with your significant other, or a brunch bucket list of places to check out with your friends on the weekend. This will make selecting a place much easier if you already have the ideas on hand.
Share your experience wish list
Many people want experiences instead of gifts for birthdays and holidays. Why not create a list of places you want to go to share with your loved ones? Your friends and family will thank you because this will make surprising you with a trip, meal, or other experience that much easier.
