    That's a great idea!

    I wanted to say--the biggest thing is that it's *working* for you!

    That is smart, the key for me at work has always been the same thing. At home, I'm less good about it and I don't know why.

    I put it all on a single note in Evernote on my cell phone. But as Tally Sue says, the important thing is for each person to find what will work for them.

    Many years ago our manager gave us each a 5" X 7" spiral journal book and asked that we all use it to keep notes.

    So I am on board with your method and have carried that habit to this day. If only I could get DH to STOP writing on any and all pieces of paper--from bills to greeting cards.

    *The thing about my manager, later she purchased each of us a Palm Pilot then chastised me for using the journal and said I was resistant to change.

    I tried to use a Palm, using the "grafiti" language, etc., but I found it was just too slow.

    Tally Sue, I agree that electronic lists are slower than paper ones. For me, though, I like that I never lose it and that I always have it with me, because it's right on my phone. It's worth the slightly longer input time, for me.

    I think my problem was I was trying to use it as a notebook.

    I haven't built the habit of using my phone or my iPod Touch as an organizer or calendar yet.

    I *do* keep notes in the iPod Touch about gift ideas, restaurants we drive by, measurements for something I need to buy, etc.

    What a good idea, I tend to write on scrips & scraps & it adds clutter as well as a lot of lost notes.

    I've had palm pilots since they came out but sadly have never used them much for shopping lists or calendar function. I do use it to store the passcode to work alarm, and have a long list of books I want to read so it's handy when I'm at the library or even looking around amazon.com for kindle books.

    But it's too small to read for me anymore w/o glasses & much faster to hand write a grocery list than to type on the tiny keys. I suppose if I went to the trouble of typing it on the pc then sync to the phone but that's not really a time saver for me. There are a few shopping templates for palms I've tried over the years & they take so much time to customize it's never been worth it to me, I get impatient I guess.
