Battery Storage

Just like your memory card storage you should have a way of monitoring your batteries whether they are rechargeable or disposable. 

If using disposable ones don't toss them just because they wont fire your flash anymore, I find a TV remote will happily work away on them for weeks and even months.

Rechargeable batteries obviously do need to be brought home and charged, but the same method can be used for both, for me when they are in the case + facing out (or certain direction) means charged/good, - facing out  (or certain direction) means dead(ready for TV remote!)/need charging.

Memory Card Storage

So keeping track of your memory cards easily and quickly is important, luckily CF cards are uniform and you can have a method. My method is front of card facing out = empty, back of card facing out = full. 

Also, be sure to put your phone number on your card just in case you leave it somewhere.
