Did you know that you can't change the channel on the TV with the phone, or
dial the remote? I keep trying, but it just won't work. lol

I find I use the notes journal on my phone a lot for things I need to
remember if I find myself at a store and it's notregular grocery day
(twice montly payday) when I'd have a full shopping list. I put down
things like toothpaste, TP, dog food....that way if I'm out running
errands I just check my phone and my brain doesn't have to hang onto it. :P

I am so GREAT at lists, and there is a joy in checking off items. Sadly
90% of the time I can't find the damn list.

LOL - this sounds familiar. I did daily lists when I was an undergrad. As
I was always overcommitted, that worked really well for me in prioritizing.
Then I stopped doing it - though I guess at work for some years I did lists.
What I didn't do was keep a written Daytimer, having for most of my life had
a phenomenal & eidetic memory. I did keep a basic calendar - but that was
somewhere.... Finally, one day my deputy at work cornered me with a couple
of the guys and said "you HAVE to get a Daytimer - you cannot keep track of
all this travel and meetings anymore" Personally, I think it bothered them
that I remembered stuff while they were fumbling around. But, truth be
told, I had hit the overload level, and from then on kept a Daytimer with a
calendar pencilled in, and at least I'd try to have key items listed on
days.
Funnily enough, when I have event clients - I keep amazingly detailed lists
of the event. And always do the integrated timelines including all the
vendors and participants - caterers & photographers love them. But, I can't
do this for myself.

But don't you find that just the act of writing things down is so
calming and clarifying? Sometimes I just write the damn list and barely
refer back to it.
