I think this is an excellent idea.

I could see how this would be handy for things like restaurants to never eat at again, hotels you never want to stay at again, etc. That way, when you’re planning a trip or want to go out to eat, you can pull up the corresponding file, take a quick glance, and know where to avoid when choosing the establishment.

Also good for remembering what e-cards or gifts you gave someone, so you don’t accidentally get them the same thing the next year (or two years later).

Great idea! Thanks for sharing.

I really like this idea . Not to do list is my favorite .
But the problem is, how can you track it everyday ?
It’s nice but almost time , you’ve done it before looking back the never-do-list .
I want to know how you guys can remember it everyday

I like Microsoft OneNote or Excel for creating a notebook for these things. You can create a section or separate worksheet for each of the things you listed: Restaurants, Books, Websites, Ideas, Hotels, Vacations, Wines, and Gifts. I’m using OneNote this year for a household notebook. I’ve kept a hardcopy version of this for years but I’m thinking OneNote will be more convenient and versatile. I have a section for all my websites/usernames/passwords, another for credit card info, another for all the insurance we have from auto, homeowners, life, disability, medical, etc. I have a section for all my vehicle information (tag, VIN, purchase date, etc). I have a section for Books To Be Read, Movies To Watch, Book Reviews. I have a section for Shopping information like sizes, printer cartridges, filter size, vacuum cleaner model (for bags), etc. I have a section for Names & Addresses. I’m really getting happy with all the things I can stuff in a digital notebook and it’s easy to find again. If it continues to be this easy to use, then I’m going to stick to OneNote!

Great! Even better, create a section in your OneNote.

If you know someone well enough to get them a specific gift, you should know if they have allergies or stopped smoking, etc., right? Like I know my friend A is allergic to scallops, and my friend B is allergic to all seafood, and my friend N is allergic to nuts and bananas… I also know which friends are vegetarians. Maybe my circle is small enough that I don’t need to make notes on these things…
But I can see where it might come in handy for certain people/things. I would think that making notes in the note section of your digital address book would be more efficient, though.

This idea sounds indeed very good. Recording the things that didn’t work for you can be very helpful in the future. My only concern is that, as time passes and you keep accumulating a lot of lists in your documents, you will not go over the lists again. So it is, in fact, very likely that you will do those mistakes again in your life. The really big mistakes you will remember even without a list. This is not to say that things like grocery comments aren’t good. They are, but in my opinion the system should be a bit more organized that just documents with lists, for it to be really useful.
