Forums / Tips & Tricks

Sorry if this should turn out to be a duplicate post, but since I didn't find any similar forum entry using the search function, I figured I might as well give you a little tip to create a list which proved tremendously useful to me.


Recently, I remembered that a buddy of mine is in debt to me for a crate of beer, so I made a task in RTM to remind myself to remind him next time we met.


After that, I got thinking, and created a list called "Borrowed / Lent" where this task found its home. I then took a stroll through my appartment and recorded all things that were a) missing or b) in my appartment, yet not legally in my posession. I created a task for every one of them and either tagged them with "borrowed" or "lent", as well as with a tag of the corresponding buddy's name.

This way, I can easily find out which things to throw in my backpack's general direction the next time I visit my mom, for example.


I also tend to give these tasks a due date, so that I can nudge people to give me my stuff back.


You'll be amazed how fast this list actually grows...


Hope it was helpful to you!


Regards,

Jörn
