I find that it is a less stressful way to not do things not, even if I don't accomplish the someday things sooner (or probably ever).

I was just thinking of that!". writing things down becomes a matter of remembering why you wanted to look at that book, not actually deciding whether or not to buy it. if book acquisition is free, but slow, it handles the todo process. (and with a good library the only thing you also have to do is remember to return books before they are overdue).
