Good for him that he have only three things to worry about every day, but it's pretty silly to assume everybody else have that much free time, and only three things to worry about any given day... I understand he means three main things by "Three Things" for the day, but why the earth would you want to memorize a shopping list or dozens of small things you need to do? I found that keeping small things OUT of my head actually helps me very much because, they aren't popping up throughout the day as I know they are safe and I just need to look them up and do them eventually. David Allen suggests this in his GTD book, [1] and it really free my mind from anxiety of forgettings, losing things! Great advice. Also every issue tracker in the world is a huge TODO list, I'm sure he has a couple if TODOs in one of those. ;) [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done
