Comes with automatic reminders when you miss something on the list :-p

Seriously I like the FreeMind suggestion… will have to put it on the list to look into.

It helps keep me organised and gives me a sense of accomplishment when I’m able to scratch some tasks off the list, so the idea of moving quick things to the top is a really good one.

Yes. I also find the to-do items getting expanded as I get ideas. Might use the mindmap approach like you do. Thanks for the tip.

Cheers

I even find myself adding something I’ve just done onto a list…just so I can tick it off :-)

I’ve found that my to-do lists cross over into note taking for the item that I’m to do, so sometimes use mindmap software (eg FreeMind) to keep the root items list small, and then open up branches as I dig into the detail.
