The problem with to do lists
July 11th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
Anyone who knows me knows what a fan of to do lists I am. Whether handwritten, typed, or in some sort of electronic task manager, or even just on a sloppy post-it, it’s all good. I’ve run into this problem lately where I’m very productive, and hence want to be able to cross things off the list. However, my list contains all these high level items like “Client X’s website.” So even if I finish 90% of the site (wow), I still can’t cross off this item. I’ve thought of two solutions to this:
- Divide to do list into manageable, cross-off-able, subtasks.
- Stop letting to do list manage my life.
Heh, heh, we’ll see. Do to do lists rule your life? How do you handle this conundrum? Am I just OCD?

Everyone seems to have a very strong opinion (partly because these battles are hashed out on the Internet, breeding ground for flamewars) about how to go about building the “best” websites. There are still table-advocates, semantic-markup cheerleaders, CSS gurus, W3C fans and cynics, and those who comply with section 508 grudgingly – the whole spectrum. I’ve taken the approach that table-less, W3C valid, and accessible websites are the best way to go, and have worked at educating others to that effect too. Today I’d like to focus on accessibility, particularly for e-commerce.
