Heh. I love digging through some of the more ancient scrolls here at Candlekeep.
Just for a laugh, I do believe I've discovered the first reference about my "To-Do" here, in a discussion about demons, from back in December 2003:-

As it stands, I have an unnaturally tall 'To Do' pile sitting 28cm away from my left arm as I type this, which just refuses to alter in height. The problem is...almost the exact amount of things that get 'cleared' off from the pile are then quickly replaced by new things to do - so overall the height of this pile is never changed...
Neat, eh?  |

Given the size of his list, I'd recommend that he hires China to help. Not someone from China, but all of the people in China! 
Then he would need billions of dollars. Unless the Chinese volunteer without pay. But the big question is, would they?! |

As I will one day say to my daughter...
"You are fulfilling your destiny, Narnra. Become my apprentice. Learn to use the temporal warping effects of the 'To-Do List.'
...
To cheat time is a power only one has achieved though centuries of the study of the 'To-Do List.' But if we work together, I know we can discover the secret to never-ending tasks."

There is no fate as dire as becoming part of The Sage's ToDo-List ...  |

LOL
I've got something similar to a "ToDo" list. Little pieces of paper I've got scattered on my desk, every one holds an idea, or two, or three. I've always got more ideas than time... |

So, the "To-Do" is my legacy to future generations of SageClan?
Should I be worried, then, that Narnra has already started composing her own "To-Do" list?
Granted, she accomplishes a great deal more in one day that I usually do, but I've found that she has also started adding just about everything her little mind can think of at any one time. It's more like a "brain-storm To-Do" list, than an actual listing of stuff. So much so, that Narnra has begun sticky-taping pages together to provide more space to write things down. |

But at least the pile wouldn't (or at least shouldn't) be getting bigger.
Unless they inherit his ability to add to that list...
If that occurs, we are ALL doomed... |

Just curious Sage, are the number of tasks you finish out of your To Do list greater than or equal to the number that is added to it everyday?
Well, it usually takes me about a week to actually finish just one task on my "To-Do" list... and that's when I'm not busy doing other "stuff."
On average, though, I regularly add about two or three different tasks to my list, depending on what the day brings and what I can't complete/accomplish in a single twenty-four hour period. |

My To Do list may not be as long or as nigh-infinite as Sage's, but it's still pretty long, and grows longer every hour.

I have a To Do list of my own but it's mostly in my head and not all realms related, and some thing are very old, so I understand how it can take VERY long to knock things off the list. |

Ah yes. I didn't think of that. But maybe computerizing the ToDo pile would lead to it ceasing physical existence... :D
... and then lead to Skynet. |

Ah, better days... The To-Do list had not yet developed its own gravitational field, at that point... |
