TODO lists
I noticed something interesting(?) about my TODO
list recently.
I have a TODO list on my computer desktop
(doesn't everyone?). There seems to be a self-regulating force acting to keep
the length of the list nearly constant. When I am really busy I don't cross
things off the list very quickly but I don't have time to add new items either.
When I have more free time I knock items off the TODO list quickly but I also
add items to the list faster too. Items that normally wouldn't make the cut
when I'm busy get added to the list when I have more time because there is some
chance that I'll actually get to 'em. The list usually has 10-15 things to do.
Right now I have 14 TODO items...and now that I've written a blog entry about
TODO lists I guess it has only 13 items. Time to move on to the next
one.
