OCD has been a good thing throughout my years of being a systems design engineer. I still keep the yellow highlighter handy.
Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean the world's not out to get me, so my CDO has served me well - that's OCD except the letters are in alphabetical order as they should be.

Great read. Everyone has their own way of remembering things. I like yours.
My airline had pads of cheat sheets in operation to carry in a flight kit with hotel pins that made life simple. Empty shirt pocket is so wrong.
I'd rather have a pilot who is OCD about accurate info than a lazy pilot who "knows what he's doing".
What about your brains? ...the *MEMORY* section of it I'm referring to. The only time you MIGHT need a ballpoint pen is copying your taxi clearance at LHR or LAX. That is, if you can't tap it into the MCDU or FMC (whatever you have in a -67) as he gives it to you.
