Default The items that go on a to do list

I think that daily chores are the ones that go on the to do list because those are the kinds of actions that you've already experienced doing before and so that you know specifically how to do them. And well they are small enough that you can actually get them done in a day. Because how to hire bill is something that is not totally obvious and might take more than a couple of days to do. Maybe if you wrote down the "next action" (as from the book Getting Things Done) that is actually doable in one fell swoop, then you could also include higher level goals. Like the next step for hire bill might be to phone someone up.

And something like analyze stocks, seems like that is a never ending thing. Maybe you could fit that in by putting a specific amount of time, like "analyze stocks for 10 minutes"
