DAs's awesome lists (*=I have it covered) #=not applicable
*Account and $ numbers- credit card #s, PIN #s, etc. (make sure wherever you keep these, it is safe and secure.)
passowrds file to be encrypted or stored in 1password, I have everything from all online passwords and logins to installment initial amounts and aprs.
*Affirmations- personal self-talk scripts for positive internal programming.
I call it my "mind aggreements" file. It's organized by context. Exercise, @Phone, Social, Home, etc. so I trigger affirmations and good habits (like doing sit-ups while on the phone, or reading my work on phone) or "deep breating" @Exercise to keep me aligned in each of those given contexts. This is invaluable.
*Basic personal numbers (self and family members)- drivers license, social security, insurance policies, Whatever you may need for yourself and others when filling out forms.
passwords file
*Birthdays- (if you don't put them on your digital calendar system), group by date, as reviewable (those during a month, put in tickler for that month, etc.)
#Borrowed stuff- things you’ve loaned folks and might care to get back someday.
Checklists- Travel, Take sailing..., Personal New Habits to Create, etc.
Gifts- organized by people and/or a general list of neat things to buy for others (fresh maple syrup from Vermont, styluses for Palms, etc.... and where to get them.) Great for birthdays, ad-hoc niceness, and Christmas time.
*Ideas I don't know what to do with, now that I've had them...- we all have them, and they don't fit anywhere except in an "they don't fit anywhere" place.
trying to consolidate these, but they're going in seperate notes files or yearly Incoming_Notes or Journals
Jokes- the current ones that you'd like to get some more mileage out of (but damn! they disappear out of our brain so fast.)
*Might wanna buy...- could be one mega-list, or (more commonly) grouped by the type of thing it is: cds, cigars, wines, books, videos.
I have over half a dozen organized amazon wish lists organized into "electronics", "home", "books and dvds", "games", "watches", "clothing", and"Consistently thought about" for items that I reoccurringly want. It works by if I think about somethign long enough I throw it on the "consistently thought about list" and then I only buy from the "consistently thought about list". This ensures that I don't buy sporadically and all purchases are worthy and will boost the productivity of my life by adding to it.
*Might wanna do when...- possibilities when you're in a certain location or doing a certain activity. By city, country, or region (things to do/think about when I'm in Napa Valley, London, Santiago.) Or by activity (Web surfing places to visit.)
kind of organized in m/s
*Might wanna do with...- if you're into any animate or inanimate objects: my kids, my spouse, my dogs, my piano, my woodcarving tools, my garden, my computer.
ditto above
Previous addresses and employers- keep at least your last three. (What a pain when you have to supply them and you don't have them!)
*Quotes- "Cool Quotes - where I can jot down quotations I come across that I like." (Joel Millican)
I have been working on this for years. It's over 200 quotes organized into categories like "Time, Inspiration, Peace, Happiness, Fulfillment, Joy, Negative, Intuition". This is such a cool thing to siphon wisdom from readings and other great minds. All the quotes of course detail the quoter. I have a lot of einstein, emerson, and various other idea makers.
#Restaurants- for business or pleasure, to review for ideas instead of same-old same-old.
Style or product numbers I may need when I'm buying things- oil filter, vacuum cleaner bags, labeler cassettes, etc.
this is actually useful for printer cartridges
*Tips/Shortcuts- speed-key codes, shortcut codes for new systems (voicemail, answering machine, pager, software apps, new Palm III, etc.) Any new skill set you're learning can have a remind-me-about list specific to its features and activities until they are habitual and under your belt.
I'm a keyboard jockey so I most my work is from the keyboard so these are memorized
*Vacation things to do- those things that you might like to do if you are into seriously doing nothing (take pictures, hike, hotels to stay in for a night, spa treatments, places to explore, etc.)
