This is why my manager made printed sheets of the tasks we have to do at the end of the day. There's an intense transition at the end of my work day (I work with kids, and after they go home, we have to shift gears to do paperwork before we can leave.) When I started, I had trouble remembering and keeping track of all the different things we have to do at that point. So I asked my manager to write them down. She did one better. She made a list, printed several copies, and passed them out to all the new hires.

Those tasks have become part of my routine, so I don't need the list anymore. But I keep it in my locker so I can double-check when I go to leave but have the feeling of, "Did I forget to do something?"
