Checklists - will I change my system?
First of all, I hope you have had a great week!
Last Saturday, I shared with you how I do my checklists - how I have been doing them for years, actually!
Has the time come that I actually change how I do my checklists? (I generally don’t like changes, but lately I am more daring with doing things differently.)
Why will I be trying a new method? A couple of days ago, I was listening to one of my favourite podcasts, Before Breakfast, that I have mentioned in a previous newsletter and the specific episode really stuck with me (again). The episode is called Second Cup: Get it out of your head. It talks about list-making - in a single notebook.

Why did I like this method?
The listener who shared her idea for the podcast episode has a notebook and each page is a different topic: household chores, therapy, and so on. This would actually save me from trying to keep my Post-It pads in one place as I have a separate pad for each topic.
It would mean less stress, as I could start from any topic I like and not stress over a single list topic.
I could have it with me at all times, even when I need it in my backpack - with the pads, I needed to have them inbetween other books or so, so they would not get crumpled or dirty.
I have a million notebooks lying around unused, so I am starting the new system as of this upcoming week! I will keep you posted.
