Do you use different color pens to keep your lists straight?

Yes I do this all the time!

I used to do this too when I was in school and was taking notes.

No, but I am in general a fan of color-coding.  I used to color-code my twins: red for one and blue for the other . . .

ROFL. I'm an HTML nerd so when I saw the title I rushed in here to talk about hex codes. Lol, nvm, bye! I'm dumb...

No but that is a good idea. When I got my cool new pens I was using a new color each time I made new notes for our mortgage refi and rest of the year budget :)

I make my lists on my phone with the color note app.... so I guess it's an equivalent? There are sever different color "notes" available and yellow is for non vital stuff, red is for payments, purple is for recreational stuff, etc..

I do at work. Each student has a different color (easy since I only have 6). And once DS is older and possibly has siblings I'll use them for our family calendar too.

It's a proven fact color coding helps kid remember better

Quoting deccaf:

I have in the past.  Anymore, I use what I can find.  I find it helpful to use different colors when studying, though.  Different colors for different topics is a good system.

No because I tend to use pencils instead of pens. When I do use pens though, I love using a variety of colors
