How do you to do? I mean, you have stuff to do, right? How do you remember to do it? Do you have the brain/memory capacity to remember everything you need to do each day? Or do you forgot lots of things? Maybe you have the ultimate to do list system? And do you worry about forgetting to do things? Or maybe you just don't worry about not doing, to do's?

I've been asking myself all of these question of late. There have been a couple of blog posts that got me thinking about this, one of which is here  (check out my rambling comment!).

The one conclusion that I have come to is that I have relied on technology to remind me to do things for so long now, I'm incapable of doing it myself - my brain can't handle it, most likely because it's out of practice (it hasn't been used in this way, so it's forgotten), and possibly because it hasn't been allowed to adapt to a world where there are literally hundreds of bits of 'mini information' being thrown at it from all directions at the same time, courtesy of the aforementioned technology.

I always have lots of things 'to do' but I suck at doing them. I make to do lists; most are in my email, some are in an online 'to do list manager' (which is embedded in my email), many are saved as reminders in my mobile phone, and very occasionally there'll be one or two in my head. But as my to do list manager (software called Remember The Milk) so often reminds me, my 'overdue' list is always longer than my 'to do' list.

So, how do I fix this? Do I need to adopt a super-strict routine when it comes to 'to do's', or perhaps I need to stop worry about it, and in the words of Nike 'just do it'? Either way I'm not sure, and I'm swimming in a sea of 'to do's'.

How do you make sure you remember to get everything done?
