Comment on Ask HN: How many tasks are on your daily todo list?

Comments

Zero. I just have this list in my mind of things I want and have to do sometime.

I realize that won't work for anyone. But I have much less stress if I don't have a strict plan at all.

This is how I go about it, too. I've tried to get on the "todo list" bandwagon, but it just doesn't work for me. All it does is add more work and stress without giving any compensating benefits.

I mean, this is what I do too. But I'm not sure I'd describe it as "less stress." Especially when there's some nagging task I haven't taken care of for weeks. I can literally feel that, like I'm carrying it around.

Is it less stressful if you write it down?
