If you only contribute to meta work for a while, the outside view (around SI, anyway) suggests there’s a good chance you’ll forget to ever do anything non-meta.
Keeping a to-do list may be a cheaper way of keeping yourself from forgetting.
I don’t think it’s actually a problem of “forgetting”; I should probably clarify that language. It’s more about habit formation. If one takes up the habit of doing no direct work day after day, it may be difficult to break that habit later.

Yes, good point.
