In a post last week, I discussed my strategy for using a Today Card. That is, an index card with three tasks that I would like to accomplish with some room left for additional tasks, notes, and scratchpad items that…

The advantage of the way I am doing it though is the added whitespace area left on the card for scratch purposes.</p> <p>Michael - I suppose you could use any type of paper that works but I like the index cards for the "scratch" issue mentioned above. I also like to punch them with my Circa punch and stick them in the Archive section of my Circa Notebook sometimes as well and the blank space at the top of the card allows for that.</p> Heath – Yes, it is a VERY similar idea.

Kind of a mashup of a daily page and a journal. I mean, honestly, the tasks we get done in the course of a day are as valid an item to go into a "traditional" journal as any other. Good stuff.</p> Wow Damon, I like the idea of this. Kind of a mashup of a daily page and a journal.

I've got two kids and use a similar MIT (most important task) list like this as well. I use a spiral bound notebook 9 x 5 or whatever. Each day gets a new page. I also like to, since my second child, write down little notes about their development, things like puked on keyboard, or rolled over by his self, things like that. It adds a little human touch and makes for a journal of sorts.</p> You’re probably gonna get some heat for your description of your child, but I feel your pain.
