How to mark actions as complete on paper? (ticky boxes or cross out?)

Circles

I prefer a little circle by the action item and I fill in the circle on completion. A circle is quicker for me to draw than a checkbox. I can quickly scan the row of circles for open ones, and the completed items are still legible.

Yellow Highlighter

I use a yellow highlighter - Sharpie Accent Liquid. They don't bleed and the yellow doesn't fade.

Marking them off with a highlighter falls into the labeler camp for me. They both sound really silly and I'm continuously surprised at their positive impact.

Go figure.

I use yours. It's fantastic!

I recently found a system that works really well with paper.

I started to use your system. Fantastic. I'm using it on my Hipster PDA.

Thank you Robert :-D :-D :-D !
I'm your supporter here in Italy !

Mark for to do list and following context

Could we open a thread how could we follow the mark ( vatark system it seems the best) to identify the context?

- D MT Send "a proposal" to Mr. Customer

means - action; D delegate; the name of the person and then what

I use my own set of symbols on my actions list (alle paperbased)
v = done
X = deleted, that means not relevant anymore
o (filled circle) = in progress
--> (arrow) postponed, some times a new date is written also

Crossing out is more satisfying.
