In my younger days, I never needed to keep an appointment calendar because I had a sharp memory and no Social life. Then my wife and I had children, followed by countless six packs of stress-relief to survive them.

These days I find myself constantly having to scribble little “note to self” reminders to remember things I should (and, more often, shouldn’t) do in the future. Here’s some of the collection that I have amassed over past few months on Post-It Notes, pet store receipts and my Laptop.

Speaking of which — Note to self: Find your laptop cord before dog uses it as dental floss.
