One way to discard a task is to setup a meeting with yourself to do the task. (watch out you have to do this with integrity) I love the Mind Map, I find it really useful, I still keep up to 4 tasks in the waiting cartridge. (actually most of the time my list is empty - because I dealt with all the ideas.)

What do I do with the other 73? What I do is bang the notes into my phone then transfer them to my ToDo mind map. Keeping it visual with links between tasks helps me a lot. Doesn't suit everyone, I know. Roy (That's one off the list!) Only four? What do I do with the other 73?
