the evolution of the To Do list

In the beginning, a To Do list was not needed.
Everything important To Do could be remembered...

then, bitter experience, lead to the creation of the To Do list

To Do: clean-up and prioritize To Do list

To Do: consolidate, clean-up and prioritize To Do lists

To Do: shower, lunch, etc...
Heh. Not that I need to remember to shower or lunch, it is just good to have something you know you'll get to cross-off...

To Do: shower, lunch, etc...
ok, maybe if I Brown Bag next week I can do lunch during the meeting... at least I got shower.

A To Do list is not needed - everything time critical can be remembered and the other stuff can slide.
