Todon't
This is an interesting reaction, but I'm not sure it goes deep enough.What is a bug tracking system if not a glorified todo list?What is a shopping list if not a glorified todo: buy X list?When you think up a cool idea for a project or learn about a technology you want to explore next time it fits and add it to your project log / text file / notepad, isn't that basically a todo list?These things are really important: I can't remember every bug my software has, I often forget something I wanted to buy (goddamn avocados, honestly every time they slip my mind), and I can't work on every idea I come up with straight away.I people who have problems with todo lists are using them, I hesitate to say it, incorrectly. They shouldn't run your life, they are just a place to jot things down.
