Baseball, GTD, Playing with checklists

(Fixed technical problems with last post. Thank you Duece)

We live in the Northeast so our baseball season is just getting underway (we still have snow on the ground!). I don't know about you but spring is a very hectic time for our family. There are a ton of school events, spring sports and more.

One of the things that keeps me busy is coaching my son's baseball team. Our routine looks like this:
- I leave work
- I drive home
- I pick up my son
- We drive to practice... oops, what do you mean you can't find your socks? Your hat, too?... we are late
(that was last year)

This year I thought, "Hey, another good opportunty for a checklist! Also, a good time to create a 'target' area for all our baseball 'stuff.'" Helping kids create checklists and creating a named space for stuff has really worked for our family. This was a fun GTD moment that was light, playful and meaningful. We are off to a good start!
