I like how the counterpoints for to-do lists are things that can be fixed by process. Reviewing list often, closing things you won't do, grouping by importance, categorizing by context, etc. The one recurring alternative presented to to-dos seems to be scheduling (ironic given that a counter argument of to-do lists is that its hard to estimate time). Schedule rather than to-do seems applicable to such a narrow band of people whose life is deterministic. The overhead of rescheduling everything that I can't do when the alert pops would be ridiculous. I understand that they might not work for some, they do just fine for me.
