I think having easy routine tasks like that in my Tickler is part of why I got used to checking it daily. It's so nice not to have reminders of daily things sitting around until I do them. I love having them tucked away in my Tickler! What I avoid for my Tickler is things that need a decision or that I'm prograstinating on. Those need to be in the Inbox until I can make myself sit and THINK about them! (And thinking is always the hardest part - really!)

Right. I am only now getting out of that stage, and so can't say much because I haven't been consistent long enough. Someday I hope to reach Janet's stage of not checking the tickler being as difficult as not brushing my teeth before bed.

I am always shocked at how much post-it notes cost.

I am trying to embrace the idea of stuff not looking perfect. Write on the card, and if you have to cross something out and write over, then so what? My old self would want everything to look pristine, but there is something to be said for the work-in-progress look.

I do really like this idea for the tickler, but that would require to me to look at my tickler more than the "oh, Linda reminds me, I should look in my tickler", which is still in April!
