Read my calendar for today and any email from the last day that asks something of me. Add whatever I tell you below. Sort all of it into three lists: must happen today, can wait, and waiting on someone else. Put a time on anything that has one. Keep every item to one line. If two things are the same thing, merge them and tell me you did. Anything I did not finish yesterday goes back on today's list, marked day two. On day three, ask me whether I actually want to do it or whether it should come off for good.
