What's the best method to write on your cards?
I have a terrible memory of what cards get what percent in each category, so I'd like to do a bit of lifehacking by attaching something to the card that I can sharpie on top of. Scotch tape peeled off on me. Any tips on something a bit stronger?

The sticky part of a Post-It note tends to not be sticky enough in my opinion. I recommend buying a roll of medical tape (OTC in drug store) as the tape adhesive is pretty persistent, the tape surface is easy to write on with an ordinary pen or Sharpie, and the tape retains its strength to be peeled off when you want to remove it even months or years later.

Huh. For years, I've been printing labels on regular paper, trimming them to size, and attaching them to cards using standard transparent tape. Never had the tape peel off despite regular use.
