Index cards are my nemesis! I try to do SO MUCH with index cards and I botch it up royally every time. I think I have to face the fact that I'm a computer geek, not a paper filer geek. When I write a spreadsheet or a simple program to keep track of stuff, it works much better.

I think I will have to get stern with myself on the donate versus throw away question. Donating something is an errand. Freecycle works well for me, but the freecyclers don't always want every item, leaving me with a Goodwill pile of whatever didn't get claimed. The stuff sits around blocking my entryway. Maybe I need a time limit. If it's not out in two days it's trash.
