Hi Babarino- that made me think! Perhaps having letter or number codes for your task and a hardcopy list your end with all details on it corrosponding to code or number> Or using chatbox where only members can see what you write? Best of luck with your tasks today.
It reminds me of the story of the cracked water pot: a poor farmer had to carry water to his crop down a lane and he used two big earthenware jugs for the job. One of them had a crack and so would leak water on the way, and there was never as much water in that jug when they got to the field. The jug felt bad about this because she felt she wasn't doing a good enough job for her farmer, and one day burst into tears and told the farmer how she felt she wasn't good enough. But the farmer said, 'look at the lane to the field: do you see how one side is full of flowers, and the other side is bare?' And the jug looked and indeed could see that one side of the lane was plain and bare and uninteresting, and the other side of the lane was full of colour and beautiful blooms and perfumed flowers. 'Well' said the farmer, 'the flowers only grow there because you water them, and it makes me happy to see those beautiful flowers every day. So you see, cracked jug, you are doing a GREAT job for me!'. And the jug was happy too and didn't mind being cracked and leaky ever after...
(Wonder: was I just procrastinating there?)
