Do you keep a notepad or pile of scratch paper by your phone?

Uh, yeah... so?

sometimes...I usually can't find it if I need it tho.

yep

I usually always have paper, but its a pen I'm looking for.

The phones tend to wander through the house- if there's a pad of paper near where the phone landed last, all the better.

My computer was down so I made a fancy note planner that's grown to 2" thick. It all subdivides with 3 perforated levels of 7 possible tabs, so for instance, under Communications is a tab for conversation agendas, one of those sub tabs is freinds, one of those is Alaska, and from there it's filled with stacks of Post-It note lists per person. I plan to market the planners, they are cheaper, more versatile, and easier to use than DayPlanners for organizing an entire thought life on paper.

I keep post-its around.

Always.. but only because the phone is next to the computer and we always keep paper by the computer.

I like keeping it there, but it tends to wander away!

Whatever is next to the phone becomes scratch paper. To prevent this from causing problems I try to keep something there that I don't mind writing on.

No

Yes

There is NO scrap paper in our house, but we have a whiteboard next to the phone dock. It gets pretty full.

I have old envelopes, junk mail, etc. next to my 'phone that I jot down information on when need arises. Then when I need something I can't find it because I have a hundred bits of old mail with things scribbled all over it stacked neatly next to the 'phone books.

I have a computer by my phone, and I take notes on it rather than on paper.

Everything minute detail of thought used to be on my computer, hyperlinked, catalogued, etc. When it went down (my cost for praying tesla down) & I made the hierarchial post-it notebook. I found I was free to visit freinds wintout printing spreadsheets, and could even turn the dang thing off when home awake, to bring back the realm of sun, wind, birds, & flowers. It's like a mind vs. body realm thing, and I've done way to much mind stuff.

I am a secretary, so of course I do.

no. i always write phone notes on the backs of other pieces of paper, which i lose and misplace.

i try too!!!!

I only have a cell phone, but I do carry around a note pad sometimes.

There are little stickynote pads, but they tend to get buried beneath books, papers, etc.

I would like it to be always but with kids having a blank tablet of paper in their reach will lead to a tablet of paper that is completely written on every page.

At work.
