When my wife and I decide to go out to eat, I’m usually the one forced to make the decision of where to go. When I’m not feeling particular I try to push the decision back to her. Invariably though, she will ask me to give her some choices first. This process usually consists of me racking my brain for several minutes, some minor bickering about who usually makes the decisions on where to go, and ends a forced decision and neither of us too happy about how we got there.

It dawned on me today that I should keep a list of favorite restaurants, categorized by location to make this process a little less stressful. So, if I’m up North of town I can pull up my “Restaurants North” list and quickly be able to rattle off 3 or 4 choices. Within each list it is also helpful to group restaurants by how healthy they are. Currently my wife and I are trying to eat better so being able to go directly to the list of all the healthy restaurants would make the process even quicker. The lists can easily be kept in any cell phone these days using a simple notepad application.

How do you keep your favorite dining locations organized?
