Saturday sport is a weekly logistics test scored in tears: the mouthguard discovered missing in the car park, one shin pad, the drink bottle at school since Tuesday, and an orange-slice roster nobody read. The game lasts forty minutes; the recriminations can last all weekend.
This is the Friday-night list: full uniform assembled, boots and protective gear in the bag, water and snacks, weather gear for standing on a sideline in winter, the roster checked for whose turn the oranges are, and subs money if there is any. Five minutes of ticking on Friday buys a Saturday with no car-park meltdowns.
How the ABC app works with this list
A — say it. Tap the mic and add anything this list is missing — "mouthguard" — and it's saved. B — tick it. Check each item off as it goes in the bag or the trolley. C — sorted. The list keeps itself; close the app, it's still there next time. It works offline, and your list lives on your phone, not on our servers.
