• While driving or otherwise out and about, scratch notes about sights and thoughts
• Make lists of what I need to accomplish or what I need to buy
• Write checks and address envelopes for bills; maybe wrap and address a package
• At school, take notes on what teacher is presenting (using computer or paper)
