My point here is this one: psychologically, I often find it difficult to resist the temptation of noting something down *before* I know if it is something I need to do or just something I need to remember to check at some point, ending up with my to-do list presenting me with to many things to do, some of them not really belonging here. Now I force myself to really ponder: "Do you really need to do it? If not, do you want to remember it?" and I do this *before* I write or capturing. -- Bastien
