Looking through stacks of old papers

...and I found this plastic sheet protector full of slips of paper. I seem to recall typing up a "to-do" list back in probably the sophomore year of high school with the plan of drawing one out at a time and completing the task before moving on to the next. ...Considering the fact that there are lots left (in addition to the nature of the tasks), this particular method of creating/completing a "to-do list" does not work.
