Two New Lists I'm Starting (After Ditching My Todo List)
11 Nov 2026 #miscI don’t use a todo.txt anymore.
Well, I still have one, but there aren’t any new entries in there. I still keep it some done items from past years. Probably it’s time to delete it.
A todo.txt or todo list is a source of stress. That’s a lesson I learned from Choose Yourself Guide to Wealth.
Instead of keeping a stressful todo list, I’m starting two new lists:
#1. Ideas.txt. When I find an idea I’d like to try on my own work, I add it to a plain-text file with a timestamp and a source. So far, this list is full of book promotion ideas. Apart from my daily post, writing books is what keeps me busy these days.
#2. Curiosity.txt. I don’t want my inner child die. I want to keep asking questions and following my curiosities. That’s why every time a crazy or curious question pops up, I add it to another list. A curiosity.txt. No particular format. Just one question per line.
The other day, I wonder how learning a language with a different script is. Well, that went into my curiosity list.
The next step is to pull out any of those two lists when I’m tempted to scroll down social media feeds like a junkie.
