I too often find that I get to the end of the day and have missed things I needed to do on my list – simply because I haven’t read my list properly, or sometimes at all. Once I’ve written the list there is a danger of my thinking that I know what I need to do, even though chances are I’ll forget something important.
So, just like you, I do much better if I put my list right in front of my nose all day, where I can’t help but check it frequently.

As I often find myself saying in these comments, it’s wonderful to discover that others have the same traits and habits as me.

For me, a to-do list works only if I remember to write one, put it where I can't avoid seeing it, and remember to actually read it. It would work even better if it could automatically overcome my procrastination, and ring an alarm when I've spent too much time on one task (usually not a high priority one). Can't skip the morning web surf, that's for sure. It all sounds too too familiar.
