Clones are an inheritance nightmare, and difficult to maintain. I
fired all my clones.  :-)

Instead I went back to basics - got myself organized. A simple
TODO.txt file was all I needed. Add things to the list as I think of
them, pay no attention to everything in the list - only to what I am
currently working on. As I complete a task delete it, or move it to
the end of the file. This works best for me. :-)

It's actually amazing. I searched for a whole month trying to find a
simple todo list application. All were to difficult to use, or just to
slow (to much effort to add a simple item to the list) and crappy, or
couldn't easily run off my flashdrive. A text file ended up working
best, and if forms part of my project files (via Project Inspector). I
have a personal and work todo list file.

eg:
--------------------[ TODO.txt ]-----------------------------------

  My personal todo list for various programming tasks.
