stripe Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 How do you keep track of things? Do you have a master file? Do you write everything down? I am interested in how to keep track of various information -- from medical information to what books you've read to anything else? Lori D is a particular object of fascination, as she is an amazing repository of information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Isn't she? I'm always recommending books off the top of my head and Lori clearly has some awesome, amazing master list that she cuts and pastes. Lori, you could publish it as a book in and of itself, I'll bet. :D The recommend things off the top of my head method pretty much represents how I organize all my information in complete disorganization style in way too many places. So beyond sharing your amazement at Lori, I have no useful information to contribute to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylou Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I have one of those double wide file cabinets which has two drawers. There are many hanging file folders in there. I start at the beginning and keep the files in alpha order. For instance close to the front I might have AAA for my triple A membership. Half way in might be a folder that says, "Lab results" for any medical lab results I am keeping. In the "P" area might be a folder that has info about property taxes. You could at least do something like this until you find another system that works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldberry Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I have one notebook that I added tabs to - School, Books, Movies, Shopping. I use this to add notes to when I want to keep track of things I want to investigate for school, books I want to check out, movies I want to see, items I might want to buy. Once I lost the notebook and was heartbroken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satori Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Bumping on up because I'm :bigear: too! Personally I need all my notes to be digital in some way, so I use lots of Google Doc spreadsheets and such. I also installed Evernote on all my pcs, ipads and such a few years back, maybe I should look into it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the look, feel and layout of a simple notebook system--tabs and lined paper, etc. But I really need it to be something I can carry with me at all times, and that = my phone. I struggle with this all the time, and have tried various digital, low-tech, and hybrid systems to create it. So far, I haven't come up with a winner. Who's a software developer here? I think there's a market niche screaming to be filled! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
