1. Watch the Kids in the Hall, “Seven Things to Do”  video sketch on You Tube because my boyfriend emailed it to me yesterday, insisting that I actually watch this one because watching it will change my life.
2. Update blog with meta-ironic post embedding code at the bottom so curious readers have the option of viewing said life changing You Tube vid.
3. Update yesterday’s To Do List by adding those one-point-five items to today’s To Do List.
4. Add five-point-five new items to today’s To Do List.
5. Make serendipitous bug discovery when trying to update To Do List blog entry, realizing that automatically updating numbered sequential To Do Lists both does and does not work on this particular edition of Wordpress.
6. Wonder whether or not I will have time to report this bug to the Wordpress forum.
7. Decide not report the bug to the WP forum on the grounds that the problem automatically resolved itself soon as I hit “save.” Perhaps I will, at some point, update to the current and considerably less-buggy edition of Wordpress but I tried this update twice already and failed because I didn’t know what I was doing and reading the instructions on what to do is not on my current To Do list.

Un-disclaimer: Despite the glib context of this supposedly sage sermon I just delivered, I am actually a firm believer in the necessity of the To Do List. The trick is in making one that is actually doable. There are tactio visual and digital visual types and digital and analog (ie pen and paper) systems to accommodate. My fav analog systems are put out the by Levenger company and fav digital systems are all about my iCal, which I use to manage all these To-Dos day in, day out. I’m also going to use the opportunity to plug my buddy Thomas Huynh’s digital To Do template. Thomas also happens to be the founder of one of my all time favorite websites, Sonshi.com. It is a Sun Tzu strategy website.

During the course of writing this my curiosity got the better of me, I sought out and check out some To Do List sites I discovered:

To Do List Blog - They actually have list slams in SanFran.  I want to be there, like NOW.

Ta Da List - Has an iphone app.  I don’t have an iphone, tho.  Would be interested in learning more if anyone else has tried it out.

Remember the Milk - Another iphone app.  Ditto what I said about the previous one.  And yes I’ll get me an iphone one of these days.

The Online CEO - This one gives me the creeps.  You use points to keep track in effort to ‘motivate’ yourself.  But then you have to motivate yourself to tally up the points.  (At least in my case that’s what would happen)

iGoogle - Of course what would a To Do List, list be without the iGoogle To Do List.  While the tasks I add to my iGoogle list tend to get neglected and ignored, there are others who live by it.  Although I don’t use their To Do List, iGoogle is pretty amazing and I still make regular use of it.  In fact, righteous Blogeratti, Arianna Huffington –whose blog I regularly contribute to– is now one of iGoogle’s newest champions.
