I'm a phone and computer user for lists.

These things cost a lot, I may as well use them.

Its easier to find your list when its on one device or the other.

Reduces clutter and relieves you of the responsibilty of throwing them out.

Once something is on a device, sending the list to someone else is an easily available option.

I keep post-it notes if I want a temporary reminder around the house somewhere.

Businesses use computers to reduce the amount of paper that needs to be stored and we should too.

I love the Listonic app on my phone. It has a list of everything I would buy at the store. One click on the item adds it to the checked section, and once I add the item to the cart, one click removes it. You can even have lists for travel items, or whatever you want. If it's a long list, there is a search feature that locates it immediately.

I cut up scrap paper from junk mail and keep it in an envelope for making grocery lists notes, etc…

I return junk mail to the post office -- return to sender.

When I'm doing something, like reading posts on this forum my mind will wander. My wife calls it chasing rabbits. I keep little notepad to jot down all kinds of things. Sometimes its a word that I need defined, or something I should pickup at the grocery, or something I need a reminder to do.

I also use the reminder function on my phone and a countdown widget to keep me mindful of important dates down the road.

Many decades ago I invented The Grocery Planner...a lightweight calculator-type of alphabet printer which attached to your fridge with back magnets.
The 4 main buttons we're Milk, Bread, Butter, Eggs...for the rest of your groceries you would just type in the name...like...bananas
Then, you'd simply hit print and your grocery list would print out. Just tear and go.
I never saw the idea through, but often wondered if it could have been a big seller.

Any more I have the attention span of a squirrel. If I want to remember something I need to write it down. Now. So I have note pads. Everywhere.

Mom belonged to a slew of organizations that sent her blank greeting cards and other what nots. I inherited these. I kept a box of them for grocery lists. I donated the rest to the nursing home.

I make my small note pads from junk mail. I tear the sheets in half and use a binder clip to hold them.

I also keep a running tab with Walmart. If I see an ad online that catches my eye I l will look it up and put it in my cart. I dont trust random web sites.

FYI. Its a waste of your time to mark junk mail return to sender. The PO just tosses it.
If they provide a postpaid envelope stuff some stuff it in it and send it back to them.
Doesnt have to be their stuff. Dont include any pages with your name for obvious reasons.

I send myself emails. But I did have a talk with ai, and going to use something called Microsoft To Do ... it looks easy. Will continue with emails from my phone to me and gmail calendar for appointments.

I keep a pad of paper beside my computer because I'm always having to write things down. I have no problem finding note pads but that be because this is a university town and the students need a constant supply of pens and note books.

We still have piles of notepads and "Tally Books" (Oilfield folks will know) all piled up.

But we both have fallen into the convenience of using our phones and the dictation thing for notes.....

I do however, make it a point to send out hand wrote Cards and notes afew times per year - all written in cursive
