I love lists!     
Or as my girlfriend says to me: "Don't you have a list for that?"
Indeed, I have a list for almost everything:
- Things to read
- Things to buy
- Things to blog
- Presents for Christmas 2012
- Tools to play with
- Lap times with my bike
- ...
This comes back to:    
#1 What you don't measure, you cant improve -> Continuous Improvement     
and     
#2 What you write down, you don't have to remember -> Free up your mind
The other good thing is:    
#3 "A list is a data structure" #wootwoot #DoubleGeekW00t
Back to the list that I wanted to bring up:
Conferences to attend 2012
This list is highly customized to my needs: Central Europe based, Developer Focused, Agile+Scrum related, No SharePoint, Easy to get to, Heaps of coffee there and maybe even Free?

Kind of related.
Nice article from Atul Gawande about checklists and the importance of following them

Btw, if you like lists, you might like https://workflowy.com/
Yep workflowy is great.
But it is another place where a list goes lost (although email reminders and daily recap emails from workflowy help)
ATM: I use a combination of
- emails
- evernote
- text files (sync dropbox)
- exchange tasks
- workflowy
- trello
- physical boards (2 of them)
- physical post-its
- paper
yes it is a little bit messy
hehe :) me too.
Tried to dismiss Evernote and SpringPad however and focused more on Trello (especially for project-related tasks) in order to reduce the mess at least a bit.
