So for about the last month, I’ve been using a steno pad to keep my daily to-do list.<\/p>\n
Yeah, I know — I have a to-do list on my Palm, and in Outlook, and they sync, and everything’s cool, so why aren’t I using that?<\/p>\n
Because I can scribble notes a lot faster in a steno pad, outlining and arrowing relationships and just plain doodling, than I can in an electronic to-do list. That might be training, but I’ve been doing this for a while. I’ve never managed to keep an electronic to-do list for very long.<\/p>\n
The biggest problem I have is that an analog item, like, for example, a steno pad, only exists in one place at a time. It doesn’t get backed up. It can be left places — say, for example, on the breakfast table at home because I went home early yesterday and did some work from there and was too muzzyheaded-sleepy to spot it and pack it up with my laptop when I was heading for work this morning.<\/p>\n
For example.<\/p>\n
