I’ve been using my handy, text-based “to-do” list for a while now, but my use of it was inconsistent, waxing and waning as it occurred (or didn’t occur) to me to use it, and I also didn’t like keeping a text editor open all the time whenever I did use it. So, the other day I added a “desklet” to my desktop, one that displays (the first lines of) a text file. I set it to display my to-do list, which I now can see any time, and open for editing with a click.
Which is all well and good, but now I find that my to-do list is staring me in the face all the time, and I’ve been using it more, and more, and more… I guess I’m more productive now, as I write down all the things I need to do, then do them and mark them completed, but it seems that the tool I added to make my life easier is starting to get the upper hand, running my life instead of the other way around.
I have to say that things get done, though.
