Success Spurs Motivation »
I'm constantly fighting the inability to keep track of anything. I've tried over and over to make use of the tools I have (such as Outlook) to keep track of things, but I always end up with fifty reminders and thus ignore them. Once you pass a certain number of entries in that little reminder box it just becomes useless.
So recently I've tried to become more efficient at marking things off the list. I've found that as I take the time to complete tasks and actually address reminders (instead of just letting them suffer through procrastination rot from disuse), I actually look at the list - mostly because it's a completely manageable 3-5 items most of the time, motivating me to do it more.
The disadvantage is that I now how to put everything into Outlook or I simply don't remember it. I've transferred that part of my brain to the computer. Yikes.

My wife does that (with her palm, not mine). Personally, I think that she loses too much information when the pen gets rubbed off during the day.
I also don't think I could fit enough info there - only a few lines unless I write really small, and when I do that, it's even more dangerous if I get my hands wet.
