Maybe we should just write our todo lists on flash paper and light them up at the end of the week. If there is something important on there you would get it done and if not you can see it go bye bye in an instant. No karmic backlog.
- npsimons 14y agoI admire this solution for it's full-on tilt towards simplifying life (which may be part of what Atwood was aiming for in the original post). Being a sysadmin and programmer (esp. embedded), though, I'm always of the mind of "just reliably log as much data as possible and sort it out later; disk space is cheap; lost information is not." I would also contend, if you have an issue with writing something down and then archiving it out of your todo list, is that a problem with the system, or you? In any case, yes, logging everything may be too much for some people. Me, I don't like to lose data, even if I ignore it :)
