Hi Dien:
Similar but different.
I prefer using pen and paper for daily lists.
Hi Cornell,
Your method sounds pretty good!
I like your idea of using a notebook which is lined on one side, and blank on the other... I also like your idea of paperclipping other lists for projects to the page, too!
I also prefer paper and ink, if I can make it work. More portable, etc.
As it is, I'm online so often, that using an online solution (Workflowy) is not too inconvenient... I do like the fact you can easily move things around, and rearrange things.
I was thinking of doing something like that to some extent by sticking post-it notes into a notebook (so I could move the post-it notes around on the notebook page, or move them to separate pages). I never actually tried it - I was worried that the post-it notes could too easily fall out, and get lost!
Then I had the idea to try one of those old "stamp collecting" books - I could put the notes in the little clear "sleeve" where the stamps would normally be! Then, I could still move them around - but I think they would be less likely to fall out. I never did try that either (I couldn't find where to buy those stamp books - though I finally found that the post office still sold them)... Though I still think it's probably a good idea... :)
Thanks Cornell, for sharing! I think we can all gain if we can share these kinds of practical ideas... :)
Best wishes,
Dien
