    I use this method and I want to highlight another advantage, besides shortening a huge list into a small, manageable amount. It allows you to pick the tasks for the day based on th…

    I ran into the same problem. What I found most irritating was that even reformatting the drive (in any file system and on different machines), would not make the drive work again. …
