I find hand written lists are good for focusing, but if I'm in a store hours later shopping for a group of disparate objects (10 ft ladder, size 5 2.5 inch screws, plant pot etc etc) I find a digital list invaluable because I can remove the items I have got so far leaving a shorter list.
I've found that unless I strike out items I somehow miss something on a long list. I know you can do this with a pen too but I've gone from wunderlist to the various google phone list tools and find them v useful
- bradstewart 6y agoYea I actually draw little squares next to my todo items, and then fill them in when I complete the task. For some reason, I find that way easier to parse than a bunch of scratched out words. I also do that in my engineering notebooks--it makes to-dos stand out more from the rest of my notes.
- olivermarks 6y agoGood idea, I'll remember that for the occasions when I do have a pen & paper list!
