“To Do” Items We hold between 3-7 items in our
conscious minds. We hold every emotion, thought,
hope, dream, worry and each of every 40,000+ images we absorb daily in our subconscious mind.
In addition to that, our subconscious minds hold all of our unrecorded ‘to do’ items.

What should we do? Empty out your data collections
regularly. Collect data in a minimum number of
locations. Write things down immediately,
instead of keeping them in your head. How do we do that? Microsoft Outlook can help!
