GTD Times: I'm sure I'll remember...

"The short-term memory part of your mind--the part that tends to hold all of the incomplete, undecided, and unorganized "stuff"--functions much like RAM on a personal computer. Your conscious mind, like the computer screen, is a focusing tool, not a storage place. You can only think about 2 or 3 things at once."

- David Allen (p.22 of Getting Things Done)
