My point here is this one: psychologically, I often find it difficult
to resist the temptation of noting something down *before* I know if
it is something I need to do or just something I need to remember to
check at some point, ending up with my to-do list presenting me with
to many things to do, some of them not really belonging here.

Now I force myself to really ponder: "Do you really need to do it?  
If not, do you want to remember it?" and I do this *before* I write 
or capturing.
