A space set aside where you make a sequential ordered list of the things you have T
oDo.
Helpful in setting priorities and preserving your focus on the T
hingsWhichMatterMost. You probably need two such folders, one which is at and in your W
orkingSpace, and accessible only there (L
eaveYourWorkAtWork) and one on your H
omeDeskTopComputer (Or Non-Workplace Laptop). It should include both L
ongTermThingsToDo and the more immediate concerns as T
odayTodo T
omorrowTodo T
hisWeekTodo ....etc. or to simplify to a couple of T
hingsAtTheTopOfMyTodo T
hingsICanDoLater.
To be effective, this must be an active folder, and the things in it reviewed on a regular schedule.
Included might be specific T
odoItems, Such as M
yVacationPlans, E
vents20040704, etc.
This can be a part of P
ersonalStrategies.

One problem is that I often think of stuff ToDo at home while I'm at work. So, I'd want both folders accessible.
- Eh, then you make them accessible. The point is mostly to separate them, how far you take that is largely up to you, I suppose.
I fail to see what on this page differs from just saying "
ToDo lists are useful, so you should keep them on your computer and use them regularly."
I.e. this page does not seem to serve any purpose.
I think Donald's trying to explain a good way to organize the lists.
I think it falls short.
I found it interesting/helpful. Though it might belong on another page (it's short, currently). -- AndreasVc
I think this subject is much covered elsewhere, and probably belongs elsewhere? See (for one example)
