I know this is an old thread but it caught my eye for some reason. I work in the IT (Computer) department for a Hospital system so you can only imagine how busy my day can be. This may sound crazy but I carry a little spiral notebook into the mens room and right down my thoughts. It's basically the ...

I have kids too so I understand the morning thing. My wife generally does most of the morning duties (big suprise) but I can totally understand how you feel when you get back home.
