So my take on this is that people try to organize themselves to death. They take TODO app and think it will help them become next Bill Gates - just like waking up earlier or reading more books. Problem is waking up earlier or reading more books and so TODO apps won't do anything for you. TODO app will help you achieve a goal if you first have a goal and something real not like "become rich" and then you start putting in "get milk, write essay". Don't put getting milk on your todo list. Try to write an essay - well put steps or things you have to read first to write an essay, let's say you write an essay on Seneca, well obviously your todo should contain: - read on shortness of life by Seneca - read Seneca wiki page and take notes - read Seneca wikiquotes page and take notes - write an outline - write out first paragraph introducing reader to Seneca based on wiki page notes - write out paragraph on "On Shortness of Life" If you have clear goal todo list is useful, if you want to manage your whole life and maintain it in todo app - that is not doable.
