Note to Self

 Notes, Lists, Post-its. I use every available resource to remember critical tasks. The problem is I forget where I wrote my reminder or worse, sometimes I can't find my notebook. I'm an old school pencil pusher. Why not use my phone you ask? That's nuts. I don't carry my phone with me. I occasionally lose that as well.

Most of the bills are on auto-pay. No worries there. Running low on toothpaste, make a shopping list. 

It's the odd jobs. Driving at sunset and discovering I need to clean the windshield. Porch light is out, I need to change the bulb. I will write a note and eventually get to it. When I find the time to work, I can't find my notes. I write a new note to find my old notes. 

I have a notebook for cooking and recipes. Small details matter. I made enchiladas this past week. The last few times I made them I got lazy and skipped a step. You must soften the tortilla in hot oil before soaking them in the sauce. Extra work but it makes a huge difference. I highlighted that step in my notebook. I keep that book in the kitchen so it won't get lost.

I've given some thought on the format of this blog. I'm betting the majority of you are reading these on your phones. Out of curiosity, I tried it on my phone. OMG! The text is tiny to my eyes. I will make some adjustments to see what works best. If you have any pearls of wisdom or suggestions, please add a comment. Good, bad, or ugly, I always appreciate feedback.
