9. Of course, I sometimes forget my list.

It's usually in a pocket I forgot to check.

But there's a good reason to keep lists short.

If I can actually recall the list from memory, that means that all the items are important.

I am trying to do more with fewer tasks. Not easy, because I am a generalist, and have a lot of interests.

So I put the less urgent tasks on a postit note stuck in the journal.

Focus is not easy, but worth the effort to attain. Naturally, I'm a photographer who started out with manual focus. I frequently override autofocus on the new cameras.

Working on a short list of goals for the year and beyond.

You may have heard of the "Eisenhower Matrix". In one you plot the importance of tasks against their urgency, IIRC. A useful idea!
