What happens when I lose the sheet of paper I carry around with me.

I’ve found that if I literally keep it in my pocket all day, it’s hard to lose. If this still proves difficult, then keep a moleskin always in the front pocket of your backpack — or some similar system that keeps your capture system always in the same place.

What happens when I lose the sheet of paper I carry around with me. Then all of the new things I'm supposed to remember for the day have been lost. I mean i can try to recall them, but the whole point of this is to remove the stress of forgotten tasks. And now it occurs to me, that I lose things a lot. I've only been you using your system for three days and I've already lost the page.... this could happen every week! I'm starting to have some doubts here....

The controversial articles attract more comments, but they're not necessarily more popular to my readers. It's just there's not always much to say in response to a piece of time management advice, for example. I'll keep this in mind for the September wrap-up.
