to FOLLOW my to-do list

Today I learned again that the more well defined a to-do item is, the better it is. “Drill four holes in antenna pole” is much sharper than “antenna”, and today it proved much more effective.

If I write something on my do-to list today, and I find that I don’t get to it because there is something else I have to do before I can do that, then it makes sense to put the something else on the list tomorrow, and not the thing that I had on today.

I’m more-or-less in a habit of making my to-do lists for daily planning, but I often don’t look at them again, as if I will magically remember what I wrote down. (Actually, sometimes the magic does happen, but it’s not very reliable.)
