Genealogy Tip of the Day: Write it or Type it: "You won't remember that fact, where you found it, where you put it, or who is in that picture. Write it down, type in your genealogical data..."
Same should go for making lists...just remember to title and date them. I do this with the connections I find on Ancestry.com where the person's email is shown in their contact info. Keeping who is with which relative can be pretty trying sometimes

You are so right. I can remember a time when I not only thought I could remember things--I actually could. Now, as I get older, my little notebook comes out at the drop of a hat, and I write a quick note.
