Cool? I write a list into Terminal and just follow that.

  Exactly. Todo lists are just flat files :) I use ~/TODO for this purpose. I discovered this by trying to write my own TODO manager: http://git.jrock.us/?p=doqueue.git;a=summary http://git.jrock.us/?p=doqueue.git;a=summary After working on that for a while, I realized I just wanted a flat file :) Implementing the file was much faster than writing an entire application, I might add. When I get some interest in working on this again, though, I will make a FUSE filesystem that gets the information from the web and makes a TODO file for you. Then you can use the web interface when you're at a different computer (or you want to share TODOs with a friend), and the file otherwise. It might be interesting.

    I'd always used paper & pencil, but the big problem with that was that my TODO list would get long & intimidating and I'd rather just ignore it. This keeps things manageable for me. Also, I find it useful for those long-term backburnered tasks that I work on when I've got nothing else to do, but aren't immediately relevant to whatever I'm doing now. If I tried keeping those by paper & pencil, I'd end up losing the list by the time I got around to them.

      I use a mind map tool called FreeMind for many things, one of them being keeping a todo list.
