Maybe its because when the To Do List gets too long, it becomes overwhelming. For me if I have too many things to get done, I get overwhelmed and nothing gets done. I spend too much time trying to figure out which to do first that I eventually get lost and say the hell with it. One thing that work very well for my lack of organizational skills is to create a list. Then when I am feeling overwhelmed, I just go in to check off mode and don't waist time trying to figure out an order.

As for the future... *&^% it! I just have to down size, hire a maid, befriend a neighborhood kid, move into a retirement community, or pray the I become too clueless to give a crap. Since I am fairly forgetful already at 40, that's not such a stretch.
