Both great ways to get things done.

Then even if I'm not looking at my checklist, my calendar reminds me to do it.

Will be sure to update the list to reflect that. I'll also be sure to add a link to your piece on delicio.us — very useful!

It's rare but in some cases Canadians were denied free health care for 60-90 days when they returned if they hadn't done this. 2) I highly recommend Delicious for online bookmarking and (sorry for the shameless promotion) wrote about it a while back.
