Adam Savage on Lists, More Lists, and the Power of Checkboxes

big fan of lists/checkboxes. my default is to just use a spreadsheet and use traffic light colours. let's me move them around a bit and group as per the article - it'd drive me nuts to re-write everything all the time. also, there's room for comments, who/what/when etc.

for large projects (my large maybe 100-150 items on the list) my status report is just a ctrl-down scroll until everything fits on screen and take a screen shot of green, red and orange/clear - real easy to see if you're on track or not.

Emacs org-mode has awesome support for checkboxes:
