Exactly. My to-do items are mostly physical activities related to taking  
care of farm animals, rather than things I'm doing on my computer. It  
makes little sense to try to follow a list on a laptop or smartphone when  
walking back and forth in mud, or when picking up items at the farm-supply  
store. I update my to-do items occasionally in emacs, but as much as I've  
loved using emacs for nearly 40 years, it's not my constant companion  
outdoors in the weather, or when handling horses or shearing sheep. A  
printed piece of paper in my pocket is much easier to use, and little harm  
is done if it falls into the stock tank or gets trampled by livestock.
