Hrm. Our entire lives are task lists of some sort.
+ Your calendar with your list of meetings
+ Your inbox with your list of unread emails
+ Your snail mail
+ Your personal needs (mow the lawn, paint the bedroom)
+ Voicemails, text messages, facebook pings
+ Your personal goals (learn to speak spanish)
Every single one of these things is a task. I can't imagine Jeff Atwood is saying that his day is:
1) Write a blog post
2) Do job
3) Do personal life
Does checking and responding emails not count? Does checking text messages from friends and family not count? Does making sure your bills are being paid not count? What about remembering to go to home depot to get drywall or getting your oil changed, or getting groceries or learning to make alfredo?
