> If you can't wake up every day and, using your 100% original equipment God-given organic brain, come up with the three most important things you need to do that day – then you should seriously work on fixing that.
This is simply the stupidest argument I've encountered recently. People possess various mental abilities, and the condition of one's mind is not necessarily stable throughout their life, every single day. I've had some days, wherein I woke up 5 minutes before the alarm went off, with the exact plan of that day I've made before sleeping in my head. But there are only so many of these days in my life; I am usually very forgetful, and a to-do list is way more precious than anything for me [1].
Mr. Atwood may bear a superior brain similar to that of Tesla's, but what most mortals bear is better for processing than storage.
[1] In case anybody is in pursuance of a decent note-taking workflow, I use Any.do and Zim (OSS desktop wiki) in combination. I've found out that a personal wiki is quite handy, especially if one is careful and ardent about organisation, and the software allows for efficient search.
