Today is a day of running errands and getting things done... I have a list... I have an idea of where every place is... and I've mapped out a route in my head to get from here to there to there with a minimum of wasted time and gas... Apparently women are good at planning multi-purpose errand trips... while men apparently do more of a spoke approach. They do one errand, come home, do another errand, come home... etc.
There's nothing that pisses me off more than finding I've missed something on my to-do list and now have to go out again! Sometimes things can be postponed to the next outing... other times it's kind of imperative to get it done now (like buying milk). As a visual learner, I find that if I can map out my route in my head, then I'm less likely to miss something. I have a picture in my head of where I'm headed next, and even if I've forgotten why I'm going there, it will come to me eventually!! Or when I look at my list...
As for lists... sometimes, I just right the pertinent to-do items for this errand trip on a sticky note... one of the tiny one inch ones... That isn't always the best thing though... Little tiny to-do lists on sticky notes tend to get lost! Good thing they make bright colours!
