Nope, I use the note pad on my computer and save it.  I save a couple trees that way.  If I need it on paper later, I just print what I need out.

I ALWAYS write down things, especially schoolwork. If I don't, I feel like I'm forgetting to do something.

I write almost everything down as well.  I have all of my bills written in a small notebook, I make grocery lists, I write down what I have to do in a day beyond work and I make notes about random stuff.  I even tried converting to electronic notes but it didnt last long.

I used to.
Engineering student; went through a lot of paper.
That''s why I invested in a tablet pc. Saves a bundle and it's really handy.

Yes I am the same way. I have a computer that has text pad but I don't really like using it. I actually like to have it written instead. It just kinda makes things easier to have an actual copy of things. To do list and grocery list. I even have a PDA that has that stuff but I love having a pen and writing it out. And have only forgotten my list a handful of times  ::)

Yep! I'm constantly writing lists and little notes to myself. It's the only way I can remember what needs to get done.

I make list all the time.  But if is is for the grocery I forget it at home or lose it as soon as I enter the store.  I can't seem to hang onto my list and have them when I need them.....

I jot things down alright.. but not on paper. That's what my cellphone is for. Instead of worrying about keeping up with paper, I just create a new document on my phone and take note of whatever it is that I am keeping track of. I save it and usually send it to my email address for archiving (if it's important).

I used to keep a post-it pad near my laptop for this purpose. Now, I use a post-it program on my desktop for my to-do list.

 :wave: I have to write to do lists a lot especially before going on a trip. What to pack and things to do before I leave. I also make shopping and errand list if I have a lot of running to do. I even write while I'm on the phone what we're talking about or drawing.

I usually write out a list for the grocery store or a check off list when I am paying bills. Most of the time I end up leaving it behind anyway.   When I'm on an important phone call I will take down the person's name that I am speaking with, their id number, date, time I spoke with them, and what the call was pertaining to just in case i need to call back for some reason.

Yeah, I always make lists!
I make a weekly list for my things to do and I make many other random lists throughout the week.

I always  have paper on my desk with lists and random notes scribbled on them.  Bill budgets, grocery lists u name it its on paper on my desk. lol Grocery days takes me a good two lists to prepare my grocery lists, first a menu then a grocery list from the menu.  When living on a tight one income budget you learn how to plan every dollar that's spent, and I couldn't live without my lists.  :)

I have a list of all kinds of stuff. But I also recycle my lists after I'm done with them.
