I do NOT agree at all with this article. I desperately need a TODO list everyday. I tend to forget things quite alot. And with the job that I have, it is absolutely imperative that i maintain a todo list. I have a team of software developers working with me and they are working on various modules. Therefore, starting from who would be doing what to writing emails to helping another team to writing some more emails to conducting a meeting to knowledge sharing session, i need a todo list. It saved my life actually. Otherwise i would have been out of a job.
