Why Do You Need a To- Do List?

You know those days where you're just doing things, like you've just been busy with several activities but at the end of the day your back is aching and you're wondering... what exactly happened today?

Maybe you didn't ask a specific question but you're feeling unsatisfied and anxious after the day's work.

I've been there, one time I was lying down and asking, where am I?

During the times of the activities, I was just buzzing around feeling productive until later.

It wasn't that the tasks weren't worth it. It was because they weren't classified. And you know what they say, "when you don't plan for the day, the day plans for you" and this might have been the case of your constant rambling at the end of each day.

An Asset?

When their businesses began to bloom such that the administration and calculations of trade numbers or purchases could no longer be done by memory, causing a drag in their mode of operations.

The Knowledge gap

Does the knowledge gap still exist? The concept of the knowledge gap proposes that; as the infusion of mass media information into a social system increases, segments of the population with higher socioeconomic status tend to acquire this information at a faster rate than the lower status segments so that the gap in knowledge between the segments tends to increase rather than decrease.

Did curiosity kill the cat? well, maybe. The cat just didn't know what he wanted. He was snooping around for anything and everything. Unguarded and unnecessary was the cause of his passing. Too bad!
