Thanks for posting this, it seems like a system that will help me stay on top of things that need doing, at least on some days. I’ve applied this today to my todos, and it has already helped me do some useful things today, in a way that felt less overbearing than other approaches to todos I’ve used in the past.
As someone who both has spent a nontrivial amount of time thinking about todo lists, and has experience with programming, I’m somewhat surprised that I’ve never done this exact approach before, since the procedure here is very similar to the code I would write when I need to find the element of a list that maximizes some property, which is a very common task.
(By the way, are you still working on your aging sequence? I enjoyed the first two posts you wrote there, but it’s been half a year since I’ve seen anything in that sequence)
