Personal Time Management No 6B - Complete To-Do List

Since posting Personal Time Management No 6A I have been given a very useful tip. It is a Complete To-do List.

It works like this - every time you identify a task that will need to be done in the future add it to the end of your  "Complete To-do List". Thereafter, a task will be deleted from the list when it is achieved or when you decide that it need not be done afterall.

Henceforth, almost every to-do on your daily to-do list shoild come from your complete to-do list! Although I have not yet done so, you might like to add:
  1. a date for its completion;
  2. where no date is needed, relative priority note may be denoted by "U" for urgent, or "I" for intermediate urgency (Non-urgent tasks need not be denoted until they become U or I);
  3. a note of an estimation of how long a task may take in hours or days.
