First I thought I'm doing that for myself, to not miss something important. Then it occurred to me that actually I am digging on the list, to postpone doing the things that are important, but I don't like so much :-). One suggestion: I am using my mobile calendar and tasks to remind me of the things to do, with nasty buzzing. I cannot remove the important tasks, so it makes me do them, when it pisses me off after all. PS: And very much agree on obsession and the todos that are not important. There was something about it in the old Jerom Jerom books - write everything in, really everything, then go through again and remove what is not necessary.

Everybody talks about "prioritizing" but no one else mentions the downside - things that get neglected. I love the shower note idea but it may be more practical to get a waterproof notebook and a Fisher Space Pen. http://fit4living.netrazine.com/go/spacepen/ That pen will write on almost anything, even underwater. Regards, Andy Hi Alexander,
