The power of a physical to-do list...

[alexpgp]

I woke at 4:30 am and tossed for an hour, then got up, fed the dogs, and took them for a walk. Upon returning, I went back to bed and slept until 10 am.

I then sat down to write down what I wanted to get done today, and then—despite a number of distractions and issues that kept me from completing several items—managed to get a lot more done than I think I would have had I not made that list (i.e., if I had just worked with the list that had arranged itself via the scheduling features of org mode).

I don't think there's enough data here to identify a trend (my feeling of accomplishment may just be the result of the urgency of the items on the list), but it does represent a definite data point.

Speaking of walking the dogs... I must go take them for their evening stroll.

Cheers...
