It's true that, if you want a list of "what to do next" they are not good. But if you want a list of "what I have to do", unprioritised, subject to change, there's little can beat just writing it down with a checkbox next to it. It makes it real, gets it out of your head. Gives you a place to write little related notes about it.
If you use a todo list regularly, you'll be aware of the dangers of ignoring the bigger items, or choosing the fun items. Like I said, they work if you use them as a list of things to do, not as a list of how or when to do them.
- meric 15y agoNormally I keep my "must do" list in my head. Occasionally the list gets too big and I can't remember it all, I write it all out in TextEdit and leave it open and delete lines as I finish items until the list is empty. I only do this for important items; (i.e wishing your best friend happy birthday) If items are unimportant then its not too big a deal if I miss it today (i.e add X to your website), as long as its not deadlined of course.
