Firsts things first - Journalling
Brett Kelly (@inkedmn) gave me the idea for this first one when he was a guest on Mac Power Users. Everytime my son Archie does something I wish to treasure forever (for example first smile etc): I make a note of it in my Journal notebook. Great for revisiting for embarrassing future girlfriends.
On this day in 2014
When the birth of my child was imminent I started a new note and began listed all the things that I wish I had know about the day I was born. Some are obvious but others not so:
- No 1 in the charts
- Midwifes names
- First photo
- On this day in history
- The weather
- etc
Keeping my bubba healthy
Every appointment gets a new note in the health notebook. Before the appointment I list the questions my wife and I need to ask. During I take notes of any results, answers and future appointments. Then After I ensure the actions are placed in my Todo system and tag is appropriately. I don't just do this for my child but also for me....
One extra free
My wife came up with a unique usage where she has taken pictures of all the presents grouped by the giver so she can work through them one by one sending thank you cards.
