Also have lists for bigger projects (anything that requires more than one action), things to do some day/maybe, and also a wishlist (stuff has to sit on this for a month before I'm allowed to buy it). Works well. If I had an iPhone I guess it would be with me all the time, although I still use pen and paper for daily lists :) Having reading GTD (the week I read it was the most productive I ever had too, lol) I setup a Backpack page with a few lists of actions, organised by context – Online, Telephone, Errands.

I use an older Muji notebook that they don't make anymore. Fortunately I bought a dozen and am well stocked for a few years. The other thing that has helped me is to keep track of what I actually spend time on. I use 15 minute increments, then review it at the end of the day or the following day.

Every job has a todo list so I can work through and ensure all aspects of the job are completed. It's got a nice ipodtouch version that syncs too. Hi Cam,

I'd love to wake up one day with the list being empty, don't think that would ever happen though...
