Do you ever...?

Do you ever write out things you've already done on a day planner, just so you can cross them out?

Or, for the more techy in nature: Do you create digital sticky notes on your desktop just so you can delete them? Or, elongate the note on a sticky, right before you delete it?

I get an ever increasing feeling of satisfaction when I can see tangible notes be crossed out or thrown away. Something about it necessitates that I procede in such a fashion until I have achieved a supreme level of satisfaction through this means.

A bit on Kevin Bacon and his glorious six degrees:

Jeff -- I do indeed write previously completed tasks down in a planner. Unsurprisingly, when something gets crossed out a little spark of satisfaction ignites in my eyes. Regardless of whether or not the task began in the planner, it was completed and the full satisfaction of its completion must be redeemed.

As far as your six degrees of separation blurb, at Stanford it's two.
