Don’t Lose Your To-Do List

If you see a scrap of notebook paper on the street are you tempted to pick it up and see if there is anything worth reading? It just may be worth the trouble it takes to pick it up. The discarded To-Do lists and notes from other people can be quite funny out of context.

A guy named Davy found a note on his windshield in Chicago. It was not meant for him, it was a case of mistaken vehicle identity. But the note was so interesting he could not help share it with friends. Friends who also had found notes to share. The eventually led to the creation of the magazine Found.

That was in 2001. Since then there has been many issues published as well as books collecting all things found. Found Magazine has a great website as well. It is easy to get sucked in looking at all the notes and lists and trying to imagine what spurred their creation.

Be careful with your notes and To-Do lists, they may end up published.
