Todo scalar is probably not going to make it. It's yet
another attempt at effective todo listing. I don't
know why this problem is so hard. Scalar is a computer
term for "singular," so the idea is, instead of a
list, try to reduce it to one todo at a time. That way
the important stuff won't get lost in the chafe. While
it does address one important problem with todo
listing, that most of the items on your list are
primarily procrastinations to keep you from doing the
important few, it's obviously too limiting. But every
once in a while I like to test the obvious, just in
case. 

At work I have a great system, a wall full of color
coded postits, easy to change and organize and move
around and swap out and view big picture, but it
doesn't travel well. 

You can think of Fruit shrine as a subsystem of
"intelligent culinary defaults." 

I describe it a bit here:

You can see a picture of it here:

This has worked well for me for a long time. It's just
not all that exciting so I haven't given it a proper
write up yet.
