i don't use a todo list. i either remember to do something or i don't. i have tried to use todo lists before but they have never worked. i just forget to check it, or i just don't end up doing the things written on it.
- kossTKR 5y agoBut don't you use some physical system then? Setting a post-it, putting bills in a stack in sight, opening a tab and not closing it etc. to alert you of something? I mean i'm impressed if you can do everything stream-of-consciousness, but i also own both a company and have a family and could probably get away without lists when i was 22 without such distractions, but now i need to do at least 10+ things everyday, i can't remember all of that. I would love to simplify my life but it doesn't seem feasible..

- low_tech_love 5y agoI hope you don’t mind the question, it’s not meant in a bad way, it’s pure curiosity and surprise: do you have a high-level, high-paying position and/or a family (kids)? Meaning, critical things that are negatively affected by the things you might simply not do?
- _dain_ 5y agono i dont, and you're correct that these things are related. im not saying that my way of life is good, quite the opposite in fact.
- low_tech_love 5y agoThank you for the reply, it's not really about right or wrong, it's just different. I guess in one way or another you will find yourself at the situation where you have too much to remember, and you might open a new text file.
