Does anyone have a workflow they're happy with that involves printing o= ut
their org-mode todo lists?

Exactly. My to-do items are mostly physical activities related to taking ca= re of farm animals, rather than things I'm doing on my computer. It mak= es little sense to try to follow a list on a laptop or smartphone when walk= ing back and forth in mud, or when picking up items at the farm-supply stor= e.

A printed= piece of paper in my pocket is much easier to use, and little harm is done= if it falls into the stock tank or gets trampled by livestock.
