The Power of Good Old Checklists

lifehack.org: "I left my house for work this morning, knowing that I’m going to go from the office into a whole other world: PodCamp. So, I had to have everything read, because I wasn’t coming home. I said to myself, fleetingly, I should write a checklist. I didn’t."

This is a phenomenon with which I have had plenty of experience. It seems like we are constantly searching for a way to be more productive and more efficient and more organized. I tried to do the PDA thing only to discover that deep down, I am a pen-and-paper kind of girl. I like the idea of keeping check lists on index cards, but i'm not sure how particularly useful it is to keep them once you're done with it. Sure, it could be handy to know what you need to pack for next time or make sure that you remember to do on an annual basis, but thats a lot of index cards to keep and sort through.
