Checklist par excellence...
Wayne Pepper, a recent great addition to our staff of GTD facilitator/coaches, shared this with me, created by his son, Scout (age 10). It's a checklist of the relative values of various favorite candies, to monitor his limit of 7 points a day, legislated by The Authorities (mom & dad).
Gotta be one of the best representations of the strategic value of personal process...!

What a great list; thanks for passing it on, David. My five year old daughter recently blew me away when she said "Daddy, that's interesting, but not useful." (I believe I was reading from Edward de Bono's "Six Thinking Hats".) It was deep enough to motivate a blog post on it ("Interesting, but not useful," or Does it pass the scribble test? http://ideamatt.blogspot.com/2005/11/interesting-but-not-useful-or-does-it.html )

Hasn't anyone reacted to the fact that Scout can eat at least two packages of twix per day? That's a lot of sugar for a kid growing up...

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that those are probably Halloween size chocolate bars.
