In my mind, nothing is better than a good to-do list with things slowly being crossed off. This is basically how I survive at work and get everything done.
I love physically writing and hope typing never takes over handwriting in the note-taking world, but I have my doubts.
My work to-do lists have a title up top (i.e. 10/4/11 To Do) with an arrow pointing right, indicating to me that its ok if everything isn't completed by the end of the day. I make a box around the title.
I use either numbers or bulletpoints for my list, and write everything I need to do in blue or black ink (something categorically by project).
When I finish, I cross out. But I don't just draw a straight line. What fun is that?
I use a red ball-point pen and squiggle out something that has been completed.
If I am waiting for feedback on something and am halfway done, I make a note to myself in the red ballpoint pen.
Am I a huge nerd because of this? Likely. Do I write things on my to-do list just so I can turn around and cross them out? Maybe.
But that's how I roll, and how I get things done. So there.
