Thanks, Stilly, I'm going to study that. Similar to my 'orders of the day'. She keeps it manageable by restricting it to 6 tasks. That's a good idea. Some day I have 12 pile up but I instinctively know I'm not going to get to that many, so they get pushed to the next appropriate day.
And as good as a daily list is, I still need big fat divided notebooks with goals and objectives for various aspects of my life spelled out. I find that really needs to be updated about once a month, and it takes quality fresh-brain time to do. When I put it off too long, that's when things seem to bog down.
