I've adapted this "notebook protocoll" for keeping track of my mundane everyday tasks: Important stuff at the front, scratch notes (shopping lists etc) to the back.

Doing so at a regular basis has saved considerable time and stress. Which in it self is a good enough reason for me to do so. But having this routine in place really pays off when things get a little crowded, sweaty and loud - those days when everything just seem to go the oposite of what you want them to, and you need that extra gear to get through. That's when using your notebook protocoll already has saved my day.

No life threathening events. Just adapting a bit of routine from the professionals so that my everyday mundane tasks and challenges will run a bit smoother...
