[ca.wanted] Help me be more productive

OK.  I've let a very strong propensity towards laziness take me too
far to disorganization and procrastination.  I'm looking to bail
myself out of the illusion that "clean desk is a sick mind", "piles
imply creativity", etc.  No longer.  I've found the opposite is true,
that being aware of where things are is a great asset toward
maximizing the resources you have.

I'm so paranoid now about being organized that I'd like to make this
request.  It'll seem a little off the wall, but what I'm looking for
are lists.  templates.  forms.  Standard references people usually
keep for themselves.  I'd appreciate any that people send.

I'll give you an example.  I now keep (and am looking for) lists such as:

- what to pack when going on business trips
- proposal preparation checklists
- bid/no-bid decisions checklists
- traits to look for in new / candidate employees
- standard items to include in WBSs
- characteristics of good (primarily)  Lisp code
- what makes good vugrafs
- how to organize drawers in a desk
- standard items to supply your desktop with
- software i use for varied purposes (I could use help in this)
- what magazines i should read / skim
- what restaurants are good for what occasions
- etc

Miscellanea is good.  Also looking on how to improve productivity in
general, not just these lists. Just thought that lists that already
existed were a simple, non-intrusive way to get feedback.  Is it too
unclear what I'm looking for?  Thank you for your support.
