We write things down as we think of them, and erase or update them as we get them done.

This is what we do also. We copy our grocery list from board before we head out to the store.

I don't put library due dates up because our library notifies us via e-mail three days before our books are due.

I keep a daily list in a notebook, if I do something extra that I had not planned on doing I write it on the list just to have the satisfaction of crossing it off the list. I would be totally lost and a mess if I did not keep a list.

I am not very good with lists at all. It ends up being more work to keep the list up than to just do the work.

Ahh! I'm so glad I'm not the only one that does that. I didnt have the 4th of july parade written down, so later that night, I wrote it in and the time and crossed if off. I feel weird if I didnt do it. I do it for the days before too.

Me to. It has actually help in the past to go back and look up things that I wrote down, just to have the satisfaction of seeing it written and done. One time there was an out break of hep A at the local dairy queen. I looked up the day we went to see if we had been exposed the days they said it was contagious to the customers. It was a few months later when I had to go back. We were exposed and went an got a hep a shot and all was good.
