Do it all Door Hangers

I'm sort of a "list" person... helps me keep my brain strait (well as close to that as possible).

Problem is:

• Some list things are the same everyday.
• Some list things change everyday.
• I forget my lists on the way out the door. (especially when grocery shopping)
• I don't have a fancy dancy phone to keep track of it all for me.

So, check out my new fangled invention!!  (I KNOW this one is going to make me rich)..

               It's a door hanger, that can do sooooooo much more :-)  

Step 1 Gather Your Supplies

Luckly most of these seem to be on hand at home... or in the office (NO... I am so NOT advocating steeling office supplies, because that would be wrong!).  

You'll need: 

• 1 old folder or piece of cardboard 3.5 x 13 inches (think the tops of amazon boxes)
• 1 small stack of post it notes
• Sharpie(s)
• Pen
• Box cutter, x-acto knife, or scissors.
• Mug, or cup who's top is about 2.5 inches in diameter. 
  (if your mug is bigger, make your door hanger wider)
• ruler
• tape (I ended up using double sided tape)

If you're feeling like an artist... you can add the following to the list:

• white glue
• piece of sand paper
• paints
• random paper from the recycle bin

I have ADD (yes, really - diagnosed at 47) and my mind is a relentless idea machine, the right brain spewing them out before the left brain can edit them. I seem to get my best ideas when I'm in the bathroom, where I never have any paper (other than the obvious) or pen. This project was just the ticket! I scavenged some folders left behind after a meeting and bought some cheap long memo pads (like the kind made for shopping lists). I reinforced the edges of the hanger with "fashion" duct tape and glued the memo pad to the centre. NOTE: glue the pad to the bare cardboard NOT the duct tape - glue doesn't stick to it. I attached a pen with yarn and a small binder clip and hung it on the bathroom door. Now when I get all those brilliant ideas while sitting on the bog, I can write them down, tear off the sheet and store it in the pocket on the back! I am going to make one for every doorknob in my apartment. Thanks for the great instructible!

Nice way to get organized (I don't have a fancy phone either).

Ohhh, CrysN
I just saw your reusable post it note Instructables!.. (http://www.instructables.com/id/Reusable-Posty-Notes/)
You could smash up our two ideas, and put those on instead to make an even cooler, reusable door hanger thingy (technical term).

Yes, the two idea would work together well!
